Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the sun-baked suburbs of North Las Vegas, a family discovers a tiny desert tortoise nestled in a schoolyard landscape. Named Grande, this ancient creature becomes the catalyst for a profound transformation in the life of Kendall, an autistic teenager who finds a kindred spirit in the tor…toise's unhurried existence. While the world demands speed and constant social performance, Grande offers a different rhythm-one built on stillness, observation, and the language of presence. This book weaves together a moving memoir of interspecies friendship with a practical, authoritative guide to desert tortoise stewardship. From the technical engineering of thermal burrows and the complexities of winter brumation to the delicate ethics of protecting a threatened species, the book provides a masterclass in ecological responsibility. Ultimately, it is a meditation on what it means to truly belong. By following Grande's lead, readers are invited to slow down, embrace the silence, and discover the 'tortoise pace'-a way of living that values deep attention over modern urgency.
