Author Description

JouJou McVue has anointed herself as princess of the kind village known as Tweeville-at least for today! She is a mindful princess who knows the value of stopping to smell the roses, and that being hasty means wasting opportunities to experience the world around her. Her father, however, is always in a race against time. Today, JouJou and her father have one hour to ride around the lake in her neighborhood. As they begin, her father speeds ahead while she stops to compliment her neighbor, Mr. Fred on his ripe red tomatoes. Will her dad slow down to play in a pile of leaves? Will he stop to welcome a new friend, like JouJou does? Can he slow down to catch a lost puppy? In the third book of the Trotters of Tweeville series, a little girl demonstrates the value of being mindful by reminding her father the opportunities that he wastes in his haste.
