Synopsis "The Tortoise Who Counted Everything"

Some animals count stars. Some count butterflies. Some count wishes. But one very unusual tortoise counts... everything.Acorns for winter. Seeds for spring. Water for the hottest summer days. Blankets for the coldest nights. With his giant notebook, sharpened pencil, and carefully organized rows of numbers, the tortoise is always thinking about what the forest might need next.The other animals think he is a little strange.The tortoise does not mind.Because to him, the numbers have never been just numbers. Every calculation is a way of making sure there will be enough-for tomorrow, for the unexpected, and for everyone who depends on him.When a young rabbit begins to understand the meaning behind the tortoise's careful planning, something wonderful happens. One by one, the animals begin to help. Soon, the tortoise discovers that caring for others has a way of spreading-and that even the one who always makes sure there is enough deserves to have someone looking out for him, too.The Tortoise Who Counted Everything is a warm and gently humorous modern fable about preparation, stewardship, generosity, community, and the quiet people who spend their lives thinking ahead so others can enjoy today.A heartfelt addition to the Fables of Today collection, this beautifully illustrated story reminds readers of all ages that numbers can tell us how much we have-but wisdom reminds us who we are saving it for.
