This is a book I am desperately waiting to be published so that I can incorporate it in my primary classroom. Throughout my years in education, I have come across so many students like the main character, Sasha. Sasha, like most children, equate being fast to be being good. But often times, speeding through tasks result in careless mistakes or missing details. Sasha meets a sloth, who like me, lives life at his own pace. Some may call the sloth slow but throughout the book we learn that the sloth is not necessarily slow, he has mastered the ability to be present in every moment and acknowledge every facet of life that would usually go unnoticed without the care to details. The sloth is mindful. This book will benefit students who struggle with time management, mindfulness, focusing. It can also teach students about self-awareness and other coping strategies. The representation in this book also drew me in. There were small details in the illustrations that I am certain young black girls will relate to. I am definitiely looking forward to this book's publication. Thank you #Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this children’s book! It’s a great introduction to mindfulness for young children. The illustrations are darling, and the story is sweet. A great book for kids to have on their shelves!

I enjoyed the pace of the story. The illustration was beautiful and what a great way to teach children about mindful through friendship.

Mindful Mr. Sloth has a message for kids of all ages. In today's busy life we all need reminders to slow down and enjoy the gems that life offers; a flower to smell, a breeze to feel, a beauty to see. This book reminds us to take time and enjoy life in a colorful story filled with energetic illustrations and delightful characters. Illustrations have so much to see and explore beyond the message.

This book was amazingly sweet. The characters were crazy cute and the illustrations were beautiful. It had a great message and I would totally read and reread this book to my girls. 8 absolutely loved this book.

Some things that I liked about this book the most: the beautiful illustrations, they are clear and colorful and just plain cute. I love the sloth, as well as the main character who is modern and relatable to children. The illustrations make the book 10x better, as the content is just fine but of course you know that children can be wary of the books trying to teach lessons and preach XYZ -- in my experience, they want to read the fun and weird. However! This book seems to be aware of the intended audience in an effective way, as its plot is both entertaining and educational. Great job.

Mindful Mr. Sloth is a great addition to story time or any time reads. Sasha is a sweet and speedy toddler that many children will relate to, and Mr. Sloth is both adorable and funny. The text is fun and dramatically slow and the illustrations are intricate and beautiful.

I initially requested this book as part of a concerted effort to find books on mindfulness for young students. For that purpose, it's... fine. I intend to recommend it as an introduction to mindfulness rather than a part of the bulk of the conversation. The illustrations, however, are delightful and are really the big selling point of this title for me.

Review: An important story for children to help focus on mindfulness. The last page after the story includes suggestions perfect for children who need to learn to take in all that is around them. The colorful illustrations and sweet storyline are perfect for a wide range of ages from toddlers to early elementary.

Note: I received a free copy of this ebook from the publisher via NetGalley. My review is my own.

I am in love with this story. My daughter is the same as the little girl Sasha, she runs around and is always rushing and trying to do things as fast as she can. It was great that the sloth showed Sasha to enjoy taking her time and all the little things she was missing. My daughter loved the sloth character.

Sloths are so great. Like, wholesomely great. I freaking adore sloths. So of course I loved this book with a cute little sloth on every page! But Sasha is such a little scene stealer too! Honestly, I aww'd so much at this. A story of speedy little girl and the slooooooooooow sloth that she finds, and the adventures they take together. Mr Sloth wants her to take it slooooooooooooow and Sasha wanted to go, go, go and eventually a comprise is reached.

CUE ADORABLENESS.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Mindful Mr Sloth is an adorable children's picture book focused on mindfulness and teaching children they get more from slowing down in life and enjoying the present moment than from doing everything too fast and missing out on so much around us.
This book is absolutely adorable and I loved the whole concept of the story. This book is a fun yet important read and teaches a lesson one all children should learn - mindfulness.

This girl can't sit still! She goes from this to that and can't focus for long on anything. Then she meets a sloth, who taaaakeees hiiiiis tiiiiiimeeee. Can she learn something from the sloth maybe?

I feel my niece should read this! She's exactly like the girl in this book. She could learn something from the sloth!

Cute art and a good story about taking the time to smell the flowers!

Mindful Mr. Sloth is a timely book about the differences in each of us and respecting those differences while learning new experiences.

Sasha is a girl on the go but when she meets Mr. Sloth she also learns about slowing down and breathing and appreciating things differently.

The illustrations clearly show the speed and the slowness the author is trying to relate to the reader. . Thank you #netgalley for letting me review #MindfulMrSloth.

A interesting story to encourage young children the importance of taking their time, slowing down and enjoy things around you.
With our overly busy lifestyles, this is a good reminder of the importance to children as well as parents to just slow down.
Finding the balance between fast Sasha and slow Mr. Sloth makes for a entertaining read.
Beautiful, bright illustrations.
Thank you to NetGallery, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest opinion. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book is absolutely adorable and SO relevant to children living in 2021. It has become the norm to multitask, and hurry through everything we do in life. Even children are rushed through seemingly everything. Mindful Mr. Sloth is a very powerful story that teaches the importance of slowing down and appreciating the little things in life. I teach 2nd grade, and cannot wait to buy a copy of this book for my classroom. The story is wonderful and the illustrations are super cute and highly engaging. My kids will love this book!!
Thank you to Capstone and NetGalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sometimes it's nice to slow down and smell the flowers. This book is a cute way to teach kids mindfulness and how to stop and enjoy the things around you. It's a good reminder for us as parents too. Life is nonstop these days. Stop and smell the flowers. Also, I loved this artwork. So bright and fun!

What you to Netgalley and the publisher for the review copy.

Stories that include children of color are important. Representation matters. I am a counselor and can see myself using this book in play therapy with young children. The story effectively explains mindfulness in child appropriate language. Illustrations are beautiful.

The pictures are fantastic! Follow Sasha as she takes her friend Mr. Sloth with her through different activities. While Mr. Sloth is slow he helps Sasha learn to stop and smell the roses.

There’s not much to say about this one. I suggest you read it with your little ones and discuss how we spend so much time racing though life that we miss the simple beauty in life.

I thought that illustrations were vibrant and uber adorable. That balanced the important message of mindfulness in the story for a winning book.
