A sloth mistakenly arrives at the Zoom, where everything moves at lightning speed. Zebras, monkeys, and parrots rush past, leaving her longing for the Zzzzzoo's tranquility. As she struggles to fit in, she finds an unexpected friend who shares her pace. Together, they teach the Zoom's residents the beauty of slowing down and savoring life's simple pleasures. Will the fast-paced animals learn to appreciate the sloth's leisurely approach?
One day, a sloth accidentally gets delivered to the Zoom! She was supposed to be dropped off at the Zzzzzoo, a much more laid-back, slow-paced place. She had been looking forward to long, languorous naps while the sun gently warmed her belly. But at the Zoom, the zebras gallop so fast they leave their stripes in puddles. The monkeys climb so fast they forget to stop at the treetops. And the parrots fly so fast their tails draw rainbows across the sky.
When the sloth tries to make friends, nobody has any time—until the sloth meets a creature who’s a little more her speed, and everyone stops to notice. This is a surprising, delightful, and funny picture book about slowing down to enjoy the little things and making time for what matters.
