Michela Fabbri lives in Genova, Italy. She operates a small B&B, and creates comics on her daily life. This is her first book.
"For her debut picture book, the author takes an interesting route,
neither committing to full-fledged flights of fancy or a strictly
scientific fact-based story. The result is a delight....In the end,
Fabbri's I Am a Capybara is a peaceful meditation on an
oft-overlooked denizen of the animal world, one that just might
have a thing or two to teach young readers willing to take the time
to listen."
- Memphis Parent
"I am a Capybara is a cute, warm, fuzzy book with a novel
character. The illustrations are done in soft and simple pen and
colored pencil minimalist design and give a very pleasant, peaceful
tone to the pages."
- New York Journal of Books
"I Am a Capybara is debut author Michaela Fabbri's fun and fanciful
portrait of one particularly self-aware capybara, who sees life as
a series of small delights--including the joys of dressing like a
whale!"
- Shelf Awareness
"A capybara explains just who he is. Fabbri's soft colored-pencil
drawings punctuated with thin ink linework are textured but
minimalist-with the white page as the background, the titular
subject remains the focus. A gentle, offbeat sketch."
- Kirkus Reviews
"This book is so sweet. Such a great book to create dialogue with
your children about loving ourselves, while also embracing our
differences. There is so much to love about this story because it
speaks to really enjoying all the little things that makes life
great!"
- Mrs. Mommy Booknerd
