Guapo’s Giant Heart

Guapo's Giant Heart is based on the true, heartwarming story of a baby calf with no place to live until a kind woman adopts him, and gives him a loving home. Guapo thrived on all the love and care he received, so much so that he just kept growing, and growing and growing! His larger-than-life size didn't go over well with some animals who judged him.
Towering over everyone he meets, can this gentle giant teach other animals that being different is a good thing?

Guapo's Giant Heart teaches young readers, ages 4-8 to be good to one another. His name is also an acronym for goodness, unity, acceptance, patience and open-mindedness.
This is award-winning children's book was followed by Guapo's Great Rescue, also an award-winning children's book. There is a third book in the Guapo series currently in the works!
