Description
The second in a funny and empowering picture book series about finding your confidence, starring the internet’s favourite animal – the capybara.
It’s Capybara showtime . . . Put your hands together for fashion fever!
Capybara Colin is backstage, getting ready for the fashion show! He tries on costumes, hats and wigs – and rocks the finest Capybara couture. But it turns out the other animals aren’t feeling quite as runway ready. Tiger says he’s too tough for tu-tus, Camel’s got the hump and Monkey’s in a funk. Can Colin give them the confidence they need to stand proud and strut like a disco diva?
Look into the mirror. What do you see?
You’re a bona fide megastar celebrity.
So slip on those shoes and polish that crown.
Capybara cries, “Let’s slay the house down!
