Sloth and Manatee: Ocean Adventure

"I am touching a whale... there are whales in this water, so if I touch here, the water touches and touches and eventually it touches a whale!" - Sloth

"Gentle, philosophic, kind, wonderful" - Grant Petersen

Sloth and Manatee are friends - with each other, and with whomever - or whatever - they meet. Their adventures continue each Saturday morning with a new comic.

A friend is someone who listens to you when you wonder about life and ask deep questions - like, is that a rock, or an octopus? How does a cuttlefish know where it is in the vast ocean? What do we do in this dark undersea cave? And of course, do colorful socks make you look more like a sea slug?

"Sloth and Manatee - Ocean Adventure" is the second Sloth and Manatee collection, in which the friends experience what it's like to migrate across a world connected by water, ride a current, get lost in a school of fish, and encounter eye-less creatures in the dark. Each page has a fresh perspective on the ocean and the creatures who live there - and what it might be like to talk and make friends with them. And how a sea sponge might do stand-up comedy.
This comic is for anyone and everyone who loves nature, and friendship, and a sense of connection - it is a quiet place to wonder at our world and its endless forms of life. "Ocean Adventure" is a book you can read and re-read, to feel a little bit grounded and a little more hopeful. It can inspire curiosity in people of all ages, about the many discoveries they might make in the world - in the tradition of beloved companions like Frog and Toad, Snoopy and Woodstock, Beatrix Potter, Calvin and Hobbes.

Order your copy of "Sloth and Manatee - Ocean Adventure" today, and travel the ocean and meet new friends. And join Sloth and Manatee on Saturday mornings for their continuing adventures!
