    About this ebook

    Ishmael The Snail is a poem about figuring out how to move through life. Ishmael is a snail, but his friends are a wren and a hare. When Ishmael hears his friends talk about racing to hop the fastest and fly the farthest, he feels uneasy and begins to wonder if he's behind. How could he race with hares and wrens if he can't hop or fly?
