Welcome to Sloth Stories!

​Welcome to Sloth Stories, a children’s picture book series by Christie Nicholls. These books follow Sloth, a quirky, loveable character who stumbles through big adventures — from the first day of school to finding the perfect Christmas tree. Written with humor and heart, the Sloth Stories are bedtime favorites that spark conversations about friendship, confidence, and belonging.

Christie Nicholls is a comedian, writer, and entertainer who loves bringing laughter and heart to everything she does. With a Master’s in Theatre in Education from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies from UCLA, Christie blends her passion for storytelling with a deep understanding of performance.

After a health crisis, Christie wrote her debut children’s book, Sloth Finds His Perfect Tree, inspired by a real magical creature—Sloth—who arrived to help her family during a difficult time. Sloth, silly, slow, and full of heart, quickly became a symbol of joy and healing. This is just the first of many Sloth adventures, with plenty more fun to come.
With years of experience teaching kids of all ages, Christie loves reading to children, sparking their imagination, and sharing stories that make them giggle and dream big.

Christie lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two kids, two dogs, and a cat. When she’s not writing, she enjoys playing “coffee shop” with her kids, hanging out with Sloth, and spending time in the water.
