A curious capybara goes in search of other animals and new plants in this laugh-out-loud picture book about the wonderful discoveries that can be made when you let curiosity lead the way. Perfect for fans of Buffalo Fluffalo.
A capybara lives peacefully on the grassy riverbanks with her family.
Yes, everything is peaceful. So quiet and predictable and . . . boring.
Until, this curious capybara finds a book in the river with pictures of fluffy trees, colorful fish, and all kinds of creatures she's never seen before!
Someone has to find them, and that someone is her.
It's time for a quest. Nothing will get in her way – nothing! Nátali de Mello is a Brazilian-Canadian author and illustrator living in Ottawa. Inspired by Brazilian landscapes and creatures, she explores themes of identity, nature, and belonging through a mix of painting, collage, and digital drawing. She has a background in architecture, visual arts and holds an MA in Illustration from Falmouth University. When she's not drawing, she's out in nature biking with her husband and twins, or enjoying a nice slice of pizza! "Happily, the capybara speaks the language of de Mello's target readership: curious littles. Readers should enjoy tagging along with the curious, capable, and supercute capybara." -Kirkus
