@kelseyegross.bsky.socialReposted by @carrietillotson.bsky.socialGreat 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
