• Sommario/riassunto: The neurosurgeon said, "Kati will be able to learn and do things. She'll go at her own pace, but it won't be fast. She will always be a turtle in a racehorse world." Moving, thinking, and speaking more slowly than the rest of the world is not all roses. So I wrote Turtle in a Racehorse World to tell the racehorses of the world how they can help the turtles like me, and see the good in all who live around them, so the world can be a kinder place.
