Zara the Capybara and the Lost Tiara

Gina Symmons

Hello I’m Gina Symmons

This is my second book published. I started writing about six years ago as a hobby after my children had left home. I love children’s literature and when my children were little I would love taking them to buy books from our local book shop and reading to them at bedtime. I live in Chiswick with my husband Guy and two cats Boris and Pixie. My adult children Louis and Poppy also live within walking distance.

I love playing tennis reading, going to reformer Pilates, and cooking, especially baking. I also of course love to write when I get inspired and have a few stories I’m working on at the moment.

My cats!

A children’s picture book about a capybara

...the largest South American rodent. Children will love the illustrations and cuteness of this animal. The book also promotes a positive message about the need to be truthful and honest.
