About the Book
Pippo the Turtle always felt too slow.
At school, everyone ran, jumped, and zoomed past him—and Pippo plip-plopped far behind.
But everything changes when he meets Sasha the Sloth and Niko the Snail, two new friends who move through the world just like he does: quietly, gently, thoughtfully.
Together, the trio forms The Slowest Friends Club—a place where going slow isn’t a weakness, but a superpower.
They build pebble towers, invent the world’s kindest freeze dance, and discover that some of the most wonderful moments happen when you simply take your time.
Inspired by a spark from the author’s daughter, The Slowest Friends Club is a tender celebration of friendship, self-acceptance, neurodiversity, emotional resilience, and the magic of finding people who love you exactly as you are.
Perfect for ages 3–8, this gentle story is especially meaningful for any child who has ever felt “a little different.”
