Clara Capybara
Wombat Books (Verlag)
978-1-76111-195-2 (ISBN)
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.
