About This Book
Reach for this book when you are feeling the invisible weight of a never-ending to-do list while your child is clamoring for your undivided attention. It serves as a gentle, humorous mirror for those moments when 'parenting' and 'productivity' feel like they are in direct competition, offering a playful way to reframe the daily grind into a shared game. The story follows a spirited young sloth who believes he is the master of hide-and-seek, while his mother is actually just trying to get through her chores. Through Marta Altes's signature wit, the book explores themes of patience, perspective, and the boundless imagination of a toddler. It is an ideal choice for children aged 3 to 5, providing a sweet reminder that even when we are busy, our children are finding ways to stay connected to us through play.
