Sunny the Slow Sloth Tries Something New

Trying something new can feel exciting-and a little scary too!

Join Sunny the Slow Sloth on a heartwarming tropical forest adventure as he discovers that courage does not mean having no fear. Sometimes, courage simply means taking one small step forward.

When Baby Quokka invites Sunny to try a new leaf-rope swing, Sunny feels nervous. He worries about falling and wants to stay with what feels familiar. With gentle encouragement from Baby Quokka, Toucan, Owl, Lizard, and Snail, Sunny learns to slow down, take a breath, and try at his own pace.

Sunny's first attempt does not go perfectly, but he does not give up. Step by step, he becomes more confident and discovers a beautiful forest lookout he had never seen before.
