The Sloth and the Dinglewot by Nicole Prust
When Samuel the Sloth feels brave enough to leave his cosy hut, he meets the mysterious Dinglewot. Together they discover incredible places, and Samuel will learn that overcoming fears and doubts means more adventures, friendships and happiness. During this time in our lives where so many of us have huddled together in (as Samuel would say) our ‘little brown huts’, we have had time to think about all the things we have dreamt of doing but have never done. Like The Lazy Lagoon, our world stood still and things slowed right down. As we emerge from lockdown, it's time to make a promise to ourselves to try and find the courage to move past the self-doubt that has prevented us from doing things in the past. Our time is coming! As we navigate this new world together, don’t be afraid to try something new! For, in the wise words of the Dinglewot, ‘maybe you’ll like it or maybe you won’t, but if you don’t try it then how will you know?’
Nicole was born in Sri Lanka and came to England when she was 3 months old. She is currently working as a primary school teacher in London. As a child, she never craved the adrenaline rush, and was quite nervous. Once she found a comfort zone, she would remain there, where she felt safe. As a primary school teacher, she often sees that fear of the unknown in the children she teaches. Sometimes all we need is someone to pull us out of our comfort zone, for if we don't actually try something new, how will we ever truly know how we feel about it? This became the inspiration for her first book. The aim of the Sloth and the Dinglewot is to motivate and encourage children to find that inner strength to try new things. Her love for creative writing started when she was a child and her dream for so long was to publish a book. Now that dream is coming true!
