High in the thick mangrove trees of Central America, a baby sloth clings to his mother. As he grows, the young sloth learns what leaves are best to eat, and how to climb into the treetops to soak up the sunshine after frequent rains. The sleepy sloth rarely leaves the safety of the trees. When his mother finally deserts him, the young sloth learns the challenges of life on his own.
