Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree

Sloth Stories, Book 1

De: Christie Nicholls

Narrado por: Christie Nicholls

One December, a quirky sloth arrives at a Christmas tree lot on a mission to find the perfect tree to call home. Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree is a heartfelt holiday picture book, perfect for fans of Bonnie Becker’s The Christmas Crocodile and Don Freeman’s Corduroy.

In Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree, Sloth shows up at a Christmas tree “forest” in early December with one clear mission: find the perfect tree to call home. Sounds simple, right? Not for Sloth. The beautiful trees are vanishing faster than Sloth can count them. Still, with quiet determination, a whole lot of heart, and more than a few charming missteps, Sloth keeps going. His journey is one filled with hope, laughter, and gentle persistence.

Illustrations by award-winning artist Claudia Gadotti are hand-drawn and painted in a whimsical, impressionistic style, with loose brushwork, soft textures, and expressive character details that invite listeners to more fully appreciate Sloth’s experience.

This isn’t just a story about a slow sloth. It’s about perseverance, patience, and finding joy along the way—a story made to be shared as a Christmas gift with a child you love.

Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree is the origin story of the Sloth Stories series by Christie Nicholls. The series also includes Sloth’s Totally Not Weird First Day of School, with a forthcoming title, Sloth Can’t Sleep, scheduled for release in the spring.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
