Could Moe be any slower? A charming story about a little girl whose brother is as slow as a snail. This beautifully illustrated picture book reminds readers to be patient and supportive of the people they love. Life moves oh-so-slow when your little brother is a snail. It takes forever to do anything! Really, it's enough to test the patience of even the most understanding big sister. But is Moe just slow or is there something else going on? With charming illustrations by Marianne Ferrer, award-winning author Deborah Kerbel has written a delightful story about love, support and the struggle for tolerance within the often tumultuous sibling relationship. Orca Book Publishers is pleased to offer Slow Moe in two accessible editions. The audiobook features alternate text descriptions of images, including the cover. The epub edition of this title is fully accessible. Key Selling Points - A story about the sibling dynamic and the idea that your siblings may frustrate and annoy you, but you'd still do anything for them. - Many parents will relate to the idea of having an agonizingly slow child or that, in general, children take forever to accomplish most tasks. - The illustrations are very contemporary, Mom and Dad are drinking their micro-batch cold brew and sharing responsibilities while Moe leaves a trail of slime across their mid-century modern sofa. - The author's book Sun Dog (Pajama Press) won the 2019 IODE Ontario Jean Throop Book Award. Her other recent picture books include When Molly Drew Dogs (OwlKids) and The House in the Middle of the Road (OwlKids).

"This book is a great book for anyone who has a sibling or has to deal with a different personality. It would be a fun tale to have in an elementary school or home library."
