High in a cecropia tree in the Brazilian rainforest, Slothy the sloth spends his days hanging upside down and moving very slowly. Everything he needs is right there in his tree.

When his friends gather to play in a pool of water below, Slothy would like to join them—but getting down takes time. By the time he reaches the ground, his friends have gone.

Then one day, Slothy is offered a different way to join in. With encouragement from his friends, he tries something new, and his slow and steady world changes in an unexpected way.
