Start Your Engines (Respect)

How Do You Run Your R.A.C.E.? – Book 1

Engines roar and the race is on!

Meet Rick the Red Car, a fast and eager racer who wants to win more than anything. But as the track fills with twists, caution flags, and unexpected challenges, Rick discovers that speed alone isn’t enough.

Through exciting moments on the racetrack, Rick learns what respect really means:

• Respecting himself by knowing when to slow down
• Respecting authority by following the rules
• Respecting others by helping teammates in need

With rhythmic storytelling, bold illustrations, and meaningful lessons, Start Your Engines (Respect) helps young readers understand that the choices they make — on and off the track — matter.

Perfect for ages 4–8, this engaging story is ideal for:

• Read-aloud time at home or in the classroom
• Teaching social-emotional learning and character development
• Families, educators, and mentoring programs

This is the first book in the How Do You Run Your R.A.C.E.? series, created by Strong Mentoring Youth Association, where every child learns that how they run their race can make all the difference.
