Through Pura Vida Tails, we aim to create inspiring books that encourage kids to explore the world around them. Our first book, Lucky Little Sloth, is based on a true story about a sloth that was rescued and released back into the wild. It is the perfect story to inspire kids to learn more about nature and wildlife.
Lucky Little Sloth is the first book in our Pura Vida Tails collection. We hope you enjoy this story, as much as we enjoyed writing it. We have other stories of nature and wildlife encounters to tell, so stay tuned. Let us help you take your children on a wild and wonderful journey
About Lucky Little Sloth
The True Store of Guanabana a Rescued Baby Sloth
"Our family owns an eco lodge in a remote section of Costa Rica. Our guest told us of a baby sloth they saw about a half mile down the beach on the rocks, still alive. We ran down to find it before it died and scared off a couple of dogs who were about to run up on it. We found the rare, young, 2-toe sloth that survived the high tide and a storm overnight. It was wet with salt water and had sand in its eyes. It appeared tired and scared and began to cry out to us as we approached. With no adult sloths in site we carefully placed him in a box with a towel. Then we took him back to the lodge and rinsed the salt water off its face and took the baby sloth to the animal rescue center just down the road.
He seemed to be fine and happy to be dried off and safe."

A truly magical read! This book transported me to Costa Rica, where I fell in love with the rescued sloth and gained a newfound understanding of the importance of protecting our wildlife.
I highly recommend this book to young readers! The story of the rescued sloth in Costa Rica is both heartwarming and educational, teaching important values of kindness and conservation.
