A capybara is not a mouse or a beaver or a bear and has all sorts of surprising traits to discover. But while every capybara has teeny tiny ears and a gigantic nose, this endearing capybara happens to love poetry and the opera and even dressing up as a whale! He speaks candidly about his experiences and feelings, and he likes to find common ground with others, like his best friend, a little bird. Although he may appear to be a tough guy, he still likes cuddles and affection. Michela Fabbri´s irresistibly charming illustrations and witty monologue reveal the wonders to be discovered by trying new things, learning about someone you don´t know, and embracing community and family.
