Happy Barry Capybara – out Nov 1st

Here’s my new picture book Happy Barry Capybara, out on November 1st with Scholastic!

“Nothing ever bothered happy Barry Capybara. 
He was chill when it was chilly, out on the savannah. 
Hanging with his friend, the yellow-headed caracara. 
No, nothing ever bothered happy Barry Capybara.“

Happy Barry Capybara is the most chilled-out creature on the savannah. So Harry, the naughty monkey, decides that he wants to try to bother Barry. But nothing ever bothers happy Barry Capybara!

Check out the book trailer here:

Thanks to my brilliant editor Laura Sieveking, and to Astred Hicks for the fantastic book design!
