Reach for this book when your child is facing a daunting challenge or feels intimidated by someone bigger, faster, or more experienced. It is the perfect tool for building a 'can-do' attitude in a child who might be hesitant to try something new because they are afraid of losing. The story follows a small red car who dares to race a massive freight train from California to Chicago. While the train is powerful and constant, the car relies on its own unique strengths and persistence to keep up. Through rhythmic, high-energy prose, the book celebrates the idea that speed and success come in many different forms. It is an excellent choice for preschool and early elementary children who are beginning to navigate competitive play and need to see that being the 'little guy' doesn't mean you can't win. Parents will appreciate how it validates a child's ambition while modeling resilience through a fun, vehicle-centered lens.
