Mom's Choice Awards 2024 Winner

Creative Child Magazine 2024 Book of the Year Award

Theodore yearns to RACE, to EARN his wins, to prove his WORTH.

The only catch?

Well, he's a sloth, the slowest mammal ON THIS EARTH.

But that can't stop a dream.

With determination, a few good friends and a touch of science, Theo sets out to overcome his obstacles. Join him on his (two-toed) quest for athletic glory!

Theodore, The Sloth Who Wants to Race is a humorous, rhyming story about perseverance and overcoming obstacles. Educators and parents will also appreciate the fun, educational content at the end of the story, thanks to co-author Dr. Sam (a former veterinarian).
