About this listen

Is there really a human race?
Is it going on now all over the place?
When did it start?
Who said, "Ready, Set, Go"?
Did it start on my birthday?
I really must know.

With these questions, our hero's imagination is off and running. Is the human race an obstacle course? Is it a spirit? Does he get his own lane? Does he get his own coach?

Written with Jamie Lee Curtis's humor and heart, Is There Really a Human Race? Is all about relishing the journey and making good choices along the way - because how we live and how we love is how we learn to make the world a better place, one small step at a time.

Make The World Better…

A book to be shared and read to children of all ages.
Nothing in life is a coincidence. Just now I was watching A chat with Colin Farrell and Jaime Lee Curtis where she takes of why she felt the need to write this book. Its words seem simple but the subject is deep; meant to uncover who we truly are. Life isn’t necessarily about winning it is about love, giving, sharing, trust, kindness. It is about taking time to appreciate the beauty of life…in being part of the human race.

It's about time this question was answered . . .

Although this piece is really mostly questions, I think it will appeal to any child exploring idiomatic speech. The rhythm and meter lends itself to further creative thinking and expression by inducing a participatory response - the child tries to mimic the scheme. Ms. Curtis has a lovely cheerful lilt to her voice.
