Judy Avey-Arroyo holds an orphaned sloth.


On Her Own Buttercup’s mother was gone. T ere was no one to teach this little sloth how to survive. T e Arroyo family would have


to become Buttercup’s family. First, they needed to know about sloths.


T e family went to the library. T ey checked out all the books about sloths. T ere weren’t many. T e family called the zoo and an


animal rescue center for help. No one knew much about raising sloths.


A baby sloth reaches up. It wants to be held.
