Publisher's Synopsis
SHELLY, the snail, was very large. Actually she was larger than most snails that roamed the forest. Her size didn't concern her, or the method of which she got around, which was gliding along on the ground at a very slow pace. She never let those things bother her, because she was able to notice beautiful trees and flowers, as she slowly moved about noticing the natural beauty of the forest.What bothered her the most, was the fact, that everyone was always in a hurry. They never seemed to have the time to stop and say 'hello'. This made Shelly very sad and lonely. She learned that her size was not a problem, but actually something in her favor, when she was able to let others enjoy nature as she viewed it. They were thankful for her friendship and happy to be able to be her friend.
