Sloth Is Not a Baby!
by Nelly Buchet (Author) Janie Bynum (Illustrator)
Sloth is worried about climbing higher up the tree.
But she's not a baby.
She's not a bird, either, with wings to fly.
Or a monkey, with a tail to catch her fall.
Or a snake, that can wrap around branches.
The truth is, Sloth could fall, as her friend Moth so helpfully points out. Again. And again. Until a storm proves that Sloth may not be like the other animals, but being herself is exactly what she needs to save the day.

Review quotes
"A lovable young sloth alternates between optimism and uncertainty ... Washed in pale hues, watercolor and digital renderings have a hand-sketched quality that aptly captures a range of emotions playing across the sympathetic face of the book's intrepid arboreal protagonist."—Publishers Weekly
" A young forest dweller faces a new challenge with a mixture of doubt and determination. Told simply, with effective use of repetition and expressive cartoon illustrations, this story will appeal to children who are similarly finding their footing in a sometimes-scary world. An uncomplicated celebration of daily triumph for those who refuse to be babied "— Kirkus Reviews
