      abstract = {"Bernadette and Rodney are the best of friends. Rodney's  not so good at playing cards, but he's great at staring  contests. His favorite food is lettuce, though he eats it  VERRRRRRY SLOOOOOWLY. And he's such a joker! When  Bernadette goes to sleep at night, Rodney is always there,  watching over her from his tank. As the seasons pass,  Rodney moves slower and slower, until one day he stops  moving at all. Without Rodney, Bernadette feels all alone.  She can't stop thinking about him, but none of her friends  seem to notice. Except for Amar. Rodney Was a Tortoise is a  moving story about friendship and loss. It shows the  importance of expressing kindness and empathy, especially  in life's most difficult moments."--},
