It is a versatile collection that is perfect for enjoying at home, giving as a gift, or reading in a classroom."" -Scarlett Ryan, Author of Secret of the Viking Dagger, The Aztec Adventure, and numerous short stories for Harcourt, Inc. ""At a Snail's Pace is a shining example of Kim's ability to transport us with her thoughtfully radiant words.

Coupled with vibrant illustrations, At a Snail's Pace is perfect for young minds and their families, offering a playful narrative that gently encourages the imagination.

It is without a doubt that I believe this book will be treasured by families for years to come."" -Sydney Dudley, Nature Educator, San Antonio Botanical Garden ""My, my, a perfect pack of poems just right for the young gardener and outdoor adventurer.
