Sloth Went

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Benson Shum

Today is Sloth’s big day. He’s excited—and nervous. To take care of some very important business, he has to leave the safety of his tree and make his way to the ground. What if something happens? What if nothing happens? With Momma’s reassurance and a little encouragement from his forest friends, Sloth keeps going, one slow step at a time. This funny potty adventure is also a story about courage, independence, and learning to trust yourself. Back matter reveals the surprising real-life story of how sloths poop.
