The Tortoise and the Hair

Recommended by

  • Danielle Wirsansky: The Tortoise and the Hair

    Clever, charming, and full of playful wit, The Tortoise and the Hair gives a classic fable a funny modern twist. Baughfman’s animal puns and gentle humor make this a sweet story about status, insecurity, and wanting to belong.

    A warm and good-natured spin on the classic fable (with some great animal puns) that itself becomes a fable of sorts. The themes of alienation and status would play well for a young crowd who lives them every day in their own schools.
