Mindful Mr. Sloth Hardcover – Picture Book, August 31, 2021

This is my daughter's favorite book, the story line encourages kids to slow down. Love it

This book is great for showing kids the importance of taking time to enjoy things. My daughter really liked the pictures and the message it sends is a great lesson to learn.

Love this book, its message and getting to read really slow in the sloth voice for my toddler

Such a cute book and awesome illustrations

My first grade class loved this book!

I bought this book to read aloud to my second students and teach them unfamiliar vocabulary words. Fun story and engaging story with a theme to slow down and enjoy the moment.

“Mindful Mr. Sloth” by author/illustrator Katy Hudson is a humorous friendship story and a modern fable about the importance of mindfulness. Sasha Patience Pruitt is the spunky protagonist. Sasha’s middle name is ironic, as she is descried as having only one speed: “fast”. She rushes through her daily activities until Mr. Sloth crash lands on her treehouse. Sasha is thrilled to introduce her new friend to life in the fast lane, but Mr. Sloth cannot keep up with her frantically paced play. During a neighborhood bike race Mr. Sloth is finally able to get Sasha to slow down, stop, and discover the beauty in a world at rest. The book concludes with some tips on mindfulness. This title would be a great companion read with Julia Denos’ “Here and Now” and Antoinette Portis’ “Now”.

My daughter read this book for character day at school. The kids and teaches loved it. The main idea and concept is perfect for kids now a day who always seem to be moving in a fast pace. And the message at the end is amazing for people of all ages.
