Who’d have thought that such ordinary capybaras could lead such extraordinary lives? Ballet, dance school, writing lessons, travelling, even running their own businesses.
And although they have so many wonderful experiences, it’s the simple things they value most – splashing around in the water, listening to the birds singing, and eating grass from right to left according to family tradition. Full of humour, lightness, tropical colours and family adventure – and not lacking in tenderness and empathy – this is a story about being yourself, the meaning of the things we do, building relationships with others, and the joy of learning about yourself and the world.
Alina Januszczyk, translated by Kate Webster
