This picture book captures the joyful school life of snails who, though slow, steadily follow their own path. At Snail School, it’s okay to move a little slower or to make occasional mistakes. For the snails, that’s perfectly natural. Their slow pace allows them to carefully observe, listen, and remember many things they encounter in life. The book masterfully blends a simple, fable-like story with deep poetic reflection. The theme of “slowness” conveys the inner voice and the sounds of nature. By slowing down the pace of life, the beauty of the surrounding landscape and the precious things we may have forgotten come into focus.
