Sloths are blind in bright daylight!

They have a very rare condition called rod monochromacy, which means that they completely lack cone cells in their eyes.

As a result, sloth eyes are colour-blind. They can only see poorly in dim light.

Sloths are more than adorable; they’re ecological superheroes.

Their presence signals a healthy, thriving forest.

By protecting sloths, we safeguard countless other species, from frogs to beetles, that quietly keep ecosystems alive.

If you challenge a Sloth to an arm-wrestling match…

you will LOSE! 💪🏼 🦥

Sloths are 3x stronger than us!

From the moment they are born, sloths can lift their entire body weight upwards with just one arm!

As much as I adore bear, and wish I had more of his qualities, I’m honestly more like 🦉…

But it wouldn’t hurt for me to add a splash or two of bear! 😉

So...which are you?

Are you on team Bear or Owl?!

A baby sloth will stay with its mother for 12 months.

During that time, it learns essential skills required to survive in the wild.

In light of recent events…there are more reasons than ever to help kids focus on neighbourliness and find hope.

My fab editor, Claire Taylor, has pulled together some ideas for contributors to @LTPmag's Better Together issue.

Sub deadline is Sept. 22: littlethoughtspress.com/theme
voting/voting rights post-disaster cleanup efforts the history behind designated days like Earth Day, Arbor Day, Labor Day (or similar days in other nations outside the US) kids organizing a bake sale/dance-a-thon/other fundraiser to raise money to support a friend or classmate a celebration of public libraries as free, safe community spaces unique, location-specific community projects. What’s something special about your community? a story about a student-led effort to increase recess time, add school clubs, or get pizza on the lunch menu--anything that takes the idea of collective action and organizing and applies it to kids helping a classmate who is struggling in class, or is being bullied/ostracized donating food/toys/school supplies buddy systems at school supporting small businesses young people around the world who have made a difference; visit: myhero.com/child. local heroes/activists more people should know about

Nikolas thinks his momma is a coloring book and wants to create his own unique art.

Together, they show that tattoos are not the only indelible presence we can share.

🐒 Niko is a baby chimpanzee processing grief.

🦍 Lyra is a gorilla with a passion for music.

🎶 As a unique bond is formed, Lyra’s song might be the very thing Niko needs most.

What does an Author do on her first day of Summer Break?

Write all day of course!

Spending today at my local library, tucked into the coziest writing nook, writing my little heart out alongside some of my favorite Inklings.

Happy Saturday!
