Description
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. Available in French as Lent Roland.

Since her father's death, Finch's life has fallen apart. Her mother just sits and stares. Her brother hangs out with awful Matt, a bully who picks on her. And Finch has the meanest teacher in the school. But most of all, she's lonely. A graffiti message in a bathroom stall leads to a surprising friendship, and things start to look up. But her friend's family is different and secretive in ways Finch cannot quite understand. When cultural differences cause trouble at school and her friend disappears, Finch knows that flying away is not an option. She's the only one who may have a clue to the disappearance, and she needs to say something, now.
