Meet Tornero, a slow-moving superstar with a story worth hanging around for! Teaching Tornero: The True Story of a Sloth Superstar follows the real-life journey of a two-toed sloth born at the San Diego Zoo and the wildlife care specialists who helped him grow, learn, and become more independent.
Through engaging storytelling, real-life photography, and fascinating sloth facts, young readers follow Tornero from his earliest days with his mother, Xena, to the important milestones that prepared him for life on his own. Along the way, kids get a behind-the-scenes look at wildlife care, including the specially designed habitat created just for him and the dedicated team that helped him settle into his new home.
Heartwarming and educational, Tornero’s true story shows that growing up takes patience, care, and sometimes a little help along the way.
Teaching Tornero, published by San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance Press, is part of its Hope and Inspiration Series.
