The first in a funny and empowering new picture book series about finding your confidence, starring the Internet’s favourite animal – the capybara.

Everybody STOPS, everybody stares . . . but Capybara’s bopping like they just don’t care!

Capybara Disco Dreams tells the delightful story of Capybara, who loves to dance! He rocks, he rumbas, and he even Zumbas. But the other animals at the disco think a dancing capybara is simply ridiculous. The Lemur, the Llama, the Shrew, and the Gnu are much too embarrassed to join in. Can Capybara show them just how much FUN it is to dance like nobody’s watching?

Perfect for fans of Giraffes Can't Dance, The Gecko and the Echo, The Koala Who Could, Marmalade, and Oscar the Hungry Unicorn.
