When my picture book, Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles came out last year, I was delighted to read the wonderful reviews. I was even more delighted to hear the positive word of mouth from readers.
But, nestled in the back of my mind, a fretful question lingered:
People might like my book, but what about capybaras?
Apparently I wasn’t the only one wondering this. On a recent trip to Japan to visit family, awesome blog buddy Pam Webb stopped off at the Okinawa Botanical Gardens to get answers.
And the results are in:
Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles is CAPYBARA APPROVED!
“This book makes me floof with joy.”
Thanks for everything, Pam!
And to everyone reading this, may all your days be Happy Capy!
Sleepy HappyCapy Cuddles is not a holiday book, but it embraces the giving, loving spirit of the season. Buy several. Or dozens. It’s make anyone and everyone FLOOF with delight.
Oh, I see. You’re not here for the commercial. You wanna learn about the free stuff.
Fair enough.
Here’s the deal. If you buy a copy of Sleepy Happy Capy Cuddles AND write a review of the book on Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Noble, or anywhere else, I will mail you a signed bookplate!
One of these!
It’s a sticker that you affix to the end pages so you can say, “Look! I got you a signed book!”
A signed bookplate in its natural habitat.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!
You’re nice. You deserve more than a bookplate. So I will also mail you an Official, Limited Edition, “Certified Capy Cuddler” Button!
A valuable keepsake!
They are made with love and hypoallergenic unicorn dander.
And, I’ll throw in a couple of bookmarks, too. Because why not?
Long story short, as you finalize your gift list this season, please consider buying a copy of my book and giving it a review.
It would be the best Christmas gift I could ever hope for.
