A little adventure book with a big message, Slow Down, My Friend from prolific children’s book author Debbie Wolski shares the delightful tale of Tyler T. Turtle as he mentors an energetic pony, Twilly the Filly. Tyler likes to take things slowly, and Twilly likes to gallop her way through life. Together, they learn to balance the two extremes. Twilly discovers that if she slows her pace, she’ll get more out of life, while Tyler learns there are indeed times when a faster pace is needed.
“People tend to overload their schedules and sometimes do the same for their children. I thought it would be nice to encourage balance between ‘doing and not doing,’” Wolski said. “We don’t always have to speed through life. There are times we should slow down and smell the roses.”
Recommended for children ages 3-12, Slow Down, My Friend is the second in Wolski’s nine-book Grandma Magic series. Each book is a delightful blend of whimsy and wisdom, sprinkling a touch of magic into every story to inspire young hearts and minds with lessons about kindness, self-control and balancing life’s opposites.
“Our characters learn from each other, and a happy ending ensues,” Wolski added. Slow Down, My Friend is a charming, funny, educational read, with delightful artwork, to be enjoyed by all age groups.”
About the Author
At 71, Debbie Wolski is healthier, happier and stronger than ever. In 1973, a diagnosis of severe scoliosis, with a 35-degree rotation, prompted her to dive into a personal yoga practice instead of having a risky surgery that came with warnings instead of guarantees. She is an artist working mostly with acrylics for murals and watercolors. A Central Valley California native, she opened Modesto’s first yoga studio in 2000. She taught yoga and Pilates at Modesto Junior College for 12 years, and at Modesto Community College for 24 years. Wolski loves helping people and eliminating pain from their lives — whether it’s physical, mental or emotional pain — she will do her best to find the root cause and address it.
