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.

"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. Sloth and her friend Moth climb high up in a tree before looking down to see how far they've come. Moth reminds her that Worm told them that baby sloths were too scared to climb so high, but they've shown him! Sloth retorts, "I'm not a baby"-a refrain that repeats several times over the course of the story. Though Sloth initially delivers her response with beaming confidence, fear begins to seep in with Moth's reminders that she could fall, which would be scary...if she were a baby! ...Close-ups of Sloth's animated facial expressions convey her growing trepidation. As Sloth becomes convincedthat she will fall, a storm hits, and all the other animal friends are momentarily flung off the tree, despite their climbing advantages. Only Sloth manages a tight grasp, and as the storm lifts, Moth celebrates Sloth's unique talent for holding on. 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
