Take a leaf out of this little capybara's book and learn how to slow down, switch off and chill like the internet's most relaxed animal. Illustrated throughout, this charming little book will brighten the day of anyone wanting to feel calmer and happier.

From Helen H. Wu, creator of the beloved CapyFun brand, The Little Book of Capybara Self-Care invites you to take a leaf out of the capybara's book and learn from the world's most gentle, laid-back animal. Famous for their love of warm baths, peaceful naps and making friends wherever they go, capybaras have become the internet's favourite symbol of calm, kindness and cosy living.

Filled with adorable colour illustrations and uplifting advice, this little book is a reminder to slow down, stop taking life quite so seriously and embrace the joy of doing nothing - capybara-style. When life feels overwhelming, or you just need a little joy, these cosy pages will help you breathe a little deeper, rest a little longer and remember that it's okay to take things one step at a time.

The Capybara Guide to Self-Care is the ultimate comfort read - a small book of big chill, and perfect for fans of Little Book of Sloth Philosophy and The Little Frog's Guide to Self-Care.
