Jeffrey and Sloth, a new picturebook by Kari-Lynn Winters and Ben Hodson, was launched at the Vancouver Aquarium on SaturdayApril 14. This story of a boy overcoming writer’s block with the help of a sloth was inspired by a trip to the Aquarium. Listen to a short interview with the author from Vancouver radio station News 1130 here and here.

The launch was very well-attended and three sloths were sighted on the sloth walk. This was also probably one of the only book launches where attendees were splashed by a whale.

This is the first sloth sighted. Picture courtesy of Ron Jobe.
