Sasha was a kid who was go go go. She found a sloth and wanted to take him on her adventures not knowing that his speed was slow slow slow. By the end of the story Sasha learned that fun could be at at fast speeds and slow. Mr Sloth taught her to slow down and take in the world around her.
Ages 4-8

I hope this book helps usher in more books about Sloths. Sasha is a girl who loves to go fast. She does all things fast. It will take her new friend Mr. Sloth to show her how to slow down and the amazing things that can be found when you stop to smell the flowers or entice the butterflies. Another great book by Katy Hudson, which has BIPOC illustrations. ( )

Fun and beautifully illustrated story reminds me of an old Simon/Garfunkle song (Slow down you move to fast...). The story reminds the reader that fun has two speeds--fast and slow (like two of my grands) using the example of Sasha who appears as an overachiever/multitasker. Of note is that the race includes bikes, a go-kart, a scooter, walking, a skateboard, and a wheelchair (YAY!). Love it!
