Speedy and the Race against Sound

Speedy is the fastest animal in the forest, and always loves a challenge and a chance to show off his skills. But one day, while getting ready for an archery contest, Speedy finds himself facing his biggest challenge yet - to run faster than the words that came out of his mouth.Frustrated and letting his temper get the better of him, Speedy says something unkind about his best friend Ellie the Elephant that he immediately regrets. Will he make it across the forest and catch up with his words before they reach Ellie’s ears and hurt her feelings?Based on the Jewish idea of lashon hara, this thought-provoking tale shows the harm that unkind words can do and offers lessons on the importance of honesty, forgiveness and friendship. Menahem Halberstadt’s charming illustrations bring this story to life on the page, making for an engaging, educational tale that young readers will both thoroughly enjoy and learn a lot from.
