Alfonso the Alpaca LOVES books, but one day he realizes something terrible. Bears are EVERYWHERE in books. Alpacas are NOWHERE. So he decides to write a book himself. One with alpacas and bears in it. Together with Colin the Bear, Alfonso starts proving alpacas are as brilliant as bears, and that alpacas and bears belong in books together . . .

A funny, timely picture book about the importance of finding yourself in all the books you read and love.
