Dear Supporters!  I finally have a very exciting update for you!  We are narrowing down the selections for the "Slothlove" cover and here are my top two choices.  I would love to get your feedback and opinion on your favorite cover option to help me decide!  If you could respond to this update by Monday that would be great.  Thanks so much for your continued support!  Sam

Dear Readers,  I am sorry it has been so long since a Slothlove update!  Book production is progressing nicely and soon we will have an official cover chosen!  I will be updating you about the book very soon, but first I wanted to let you know about a TV show you should tune into tonight!  On PBS Nature at 8pm EST "Nature's Miracle Orphans" will air which was filmed at Kids Saving the Rainforest and features myself and many of the sloths that you will get to know in Slothlove.  Check out this review from a television critic for more info! 

Words fall painfully short to express the gratitude that I feel for each and every one of you!!!  Because of YOUR support, "Slothlove' the photo book is officially in the production phase!  Not only is this a huge personal dream of mine, but I truly believe that "Slothlove" will educate readers about sloths and inspire them to do their own part in making this world...the only world we get…a little bit better.  

From myself and the sloths that will be featured in "Slothlove"…THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!

Dear "Slothlove" supporters,

Slothlove: an inspirational photo book is almost a reality!  The pre-order goal is at 92% with only 8 days left!!!  We are SO close…I can almost taste it :-)  Thank you again for all of your amazing support and please keep sharing the link with any friends that need a little Slothlove in their life.

In honor of International Women's Day yesterday…below is a photo of Ellen, one of KSTR's amazing female sloths, demonstrating that in a flexibility contest sloths will win almost every time!

Hello Slothlove supporters!  Did you know that sloths are excellent swimmers?!?  Below is a screen shot of me and Pelota (the first sloth I ever cared for) swimming during the BBC Documentary "Nature's Miracle Orphans"  Episode 3.  Shortly after this image was captured, Pelota very gracefully let go of my back and swam towards the shore.  It was amazing to see her display such a useful instinctual behavior with perfect ease.  In the wild, swimming is not only a life saving behavior for sloths that find themselves suddenly in a body of water...but it is also a way to disperse and reach otherwise unattainable sections of forest or islands.   

This is a picture of Newbie...one of the most amazing sloths to ever exist.  She arrived at the KSTR rescue center because her mother had been killed by a dog...and developed pneumonia from the stress of that trauma.  I've never connected to an animal as quickly as I did with Newbie...we were inseparable and our story was featured in the BBC One show, "Nature's Miracle Orphans" that aired last August.  She defines #slothlove for me.

Because of you all..."Slothlove: an inspirational sloth photo book" is almost at 50% of it's goal!!!  Thank you so much for all of your help and please continue to spread the word about this book.  I can't wait to share photos and stories about all the sloths that have filled my life with love.
