Ready, Steady, Sloth!

A parent would reach for this book when their child feels pressured to keep up, whether in sports, school, or play, and is starting to doubt their own abilities. "Ready, Steady, Sloth!" tells the charming story of a sloth who feels left behind in a fast paced rainforest. While everyone else zips and zooms, he moves at his own thoughtful pace. Through a grand rainforest race, he discovers that his slowness is not a weakness but a unique strength that allows him to see and do things the speedy animals miss. For children ages 4 to 8, this book is a gentle and humorous way to open conversations about comparison, perseverance, and the quiet power of finding and trusting your own rhythm in a world that often seems to be in a rush.
