Carina The Alpaca Books

In Carina the Sassy Alpaca Learns to Pause, young readers are introduced to a lovable, spirited alpaca who sometimes lets her big feelings get the best of her. When a sunny picnic under the oak tree doesn’t go quite as planned, Carina must learn an important lesson: being bold and confident is wonderful… but pausing before you react can change everything.

This heartwarming story gently teaches children how to:

• Recognize and manage big emotions

• Practice self-control in the moment

• Understand how their actions affect others

• Apologize sincerely and rebuild friendships

• Grow from mistakes instead of feeling ashamed

Through Carina’s journey — guided by her wise mentor Paco and supported by her kind friends Milo and Pippa — children see that everyone makes mistakes… and everyone can learn to do better.

Set on a peaceful farm filled with rolling hills, a shady oak tree, picnic blankets, and sweet clover muffins, this beautifully illustrated story creates a calm, comforting read-aloud experience that parents and grandparents will love sharing again and again.

Perfect for children ages 3–8, this book supports early social-emotional learning (SEL) skills in a natural, non-preachy way. It’s ideal for:

• Bedtime reading

• Classroom discussions

• Counseling and therapy settings

• Gift-giving for strong-willed, big-hearted kids

Carina doesn’t stop being sassy — she simply learns to pause.

Because being bold is wonderful… and being kind makes it even better.

If your child has a big personality and an even bigger heart, they’ll see themselves in Carina — and cheer for her every step of the way.
