Overview

"You are one of a kind! That's the message of this sweet book, which focuses on self-worth and loving who you are. Sloan the Sloth isn't good at sports like some of the other animals. He's too slow. But Sloan knows that's okay. Instead of being discouraged, he focuses on what he is good at. Sloan puts it best when he says... ""I am slow, but that's okay. I really like myself this way. I am grateful to be me. I love myself. That is the key!"" Remember, you are one of a kind, and that's pretty great.

Author Information

"Author Misty Black enjoys picture books as much as her children do, if not more! Why? Because a good book can take you anywhere in the world! (No need to get out of bed!) Misty has been winning awards for writing since fifth grade. She enjoys reading, playing board games, gardening, and spending time with her husband and 3 children. She is secretly a part-time tooth fairy--and so her inspiration for My Mom the Fairy was born. When asked why she writes, she said, ""Books should be fun and exciting. Children deserve to love reading, and I want to be a part of that."""
