Mo is slow.

Everyone loves Mo.

Sloths love slow and Mo is the slowest sloth in Snuggle Town. Except, that is, for Bill, who doesn’t move at all. Is Bill just chill? Or is there more to Bill than meets the eye?

From internationally acclaimed author Mark Sommerset (Baa Baa Smart Sheep/Because You Are You) and award-winning illustrator Carla Martell (Duck Goes Meow) comes a tale filled with humour, compassion and … a snuggle of sloths.

Told through minimal words and Carla’s bold, playful illustrations, Slow Mo is a delightfully wry and witty look at life in the slow lane … and honouring our ancestors.
