Great new #nonfiction #picturebook by @carrietillotson.bsky.social and Elisa Chavarri. I loved learning about how alpacas are raised in Peru and in America. It has bouncy rhyming text and colorful illustrations, plus extra sidebar and backmatter info -- something for everyone! Well done! #kidlit
Doesn't it seem like a sweet alpaca face is what everyone needs to see right now? #alpacas #kidlit #nonfiction

Carrie Tillotson@carrietillotson.bsky.social · 2y agoI’m now taking Kirkus’s comment that my new book is “rather relentlessly informative” as a huge compliment, in light of all the mis/disinformation we have, and more that is sure to come. ALPACAS HERE, ALPACAS THERE, out 02.11.25. Beautifully illustrated by Elisa Chavarri.
