Clara Capybara

With their

unflappable expressions, large, striking eyes, and cuddly appearance, capybaras

are undeniably cute and appealing. They're intelligent and emotionally

sensitive and one of the world's most loved and recognised animals. These

charming creatures are easy-going and are well-known for being one of the most

friendly and sociable animals on the planet.

In Clara Capybara,

young Clara - like the rest of her species - is friendly and amiable and loves

to please others. But with her 'can do' attitude, it's easy for Clara to be

taken advantage of. When Clara finds herself unable to say no to the constant

demands on her time, Mama imparts some wise words to help Clara implement a

plan that involves diplomacy and better self-care.

Carrying essential

themes of self-care, mental health, diplomacy, navigating relationships,

manners, setting boundaries, and social anxiety, Clara the Capybara possesses

layers of meaning that will appeal to both children and adults. Woven into the

story are language and literacy elements teaching synonyms and alliteration

and, of course, a study in the nature of delightful capybaras.
