  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 and illustrated with Laura Cornell's worldly wit, 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.
