Many animals make their home in the wild jungles of Costa Rica — howler monkeys, spider monkeys, and capuchin monkeys, parrots, macaws, pumas, ocelots and other large cats. And there are also endangered sloths. A mother 2 toed sloth and her young pup watch the world below from high up in a tree; the mother teaches her baby how to travel unseen, slowly and safely, through a dense jungle canopy reduced by humans. When a tropical storm strikes, however, the mother and baby struggle to find a safe place to stay. As darkness approaches a branch breaks, and the baby sloth falls into the flooded creek that washes him out to the stormy ocean, he just barely makes it to the beach. What will happen to him when the couple living nearby come upon the baby sloth during their early-morning walk? This remarkable true story for young readers is about a helpless baby sloth rescued from a remote beach in Costa Rica. It teaches us all a message of conservation, love, and hope for the future of animals and man living in harmony.

Under the shadow of the white-capped mountains of Japan, a kind and gentle monk takes in a white cat with unusual markings and names him Tama, Lucky Cat. Tama watches as his new master teaches Buddha's ways to poor farmers, caring for their welfare while ignoring his own empty stomach. Tama truly earns his nickname, "Lucky Cat," when during a powerful thunderstorm, he sees a towering warlord on a white horse. The cat beckons the warrior forward just as a large branch crashes to the ground and lands right where the warlord had previously stood. In gratitude to Tama, the warlord lavishes gifts on the monk's poor temple. In a marriage of graceful text based on one of the legends of Maneki Neko—"beckoning cat," in early Edo-period Japan—and breathtaking watercolor illustrations, debut author Wendy Henrichs and award-winning illustrator Yoshiko Jaeggi offer a beautiful story of friendship, generosity, and kindness.

A richly illustrated cultural and natural history of the lethargic animal—from prehistoric ancestry to modern-day memes. Sloths are perhaps the most recognized and loved Central and South American animals, but they are not well understood. This book offers a colorful and wide-ranging biological and cultural history of these fascinating mammals. Alan Rauch explores how today’s lethargic sloths evolved from gigantic prehistoric ancestors and earned their deadly, sinful names. In praise of both these beautiful creatures and their status as icons of a stress-free life, this book shows just how fascinating, engaging, and (more often than not) inspiring these animals can be.
