Bookroo's summary

Sasha is eager for a day of swimming, but her best friend, Mr. Sloth, moves at a snail's pace. As the sun blazes, Sasha's patience wears thin. Will her frustration spoil their summer fun, or can she learn the value of waiting? Dive into this charming tale of friendship and patience, where every moment holds the potential for joy if only Sasha can slow down and savor it.

From the publisher

The sun is out. The temperature is hot. And Sasha has everything packed and ready for a full day of swimming! But Mr. Sloth is taking for-eh-ver! Sasha does NOT like to wait. However, her best friend is never in a hurry. Will Sasha learn to be patient, or will her quick temper ruin a memorable summer outing? Showcasing the unlikely duo of an energetic girl and a sloth, best-selling author Katy Hudson (Mindful Mr. Sloth, Too Many Carrots, A Loud Winter’s Nap) creates the perfect story about patience and its importance. When you learn patience, every moment can be special.
