About the book, The Speedy Sloth: 

It was finally time for the event of the year, Spike couldn’t believe it—THE GREAT RACE was here! The other sloths said it couldn’t be done, but Spike didn’t care, she was ready to run! This inspiring story celebrates all winners … especially those who don’t come first. The Speedy Sloth is written by Rebecca Young and illustrated by Heath McKenzie.
