Carmen Saldana – Cleo the Completely Fine Camel

Cleo is a COMPLETELY FINE camel. Really, everything is just great. Honestly. A sweltering hot day? Well, Cleo has never felt better! Is she thirsty? No really she’s fine. A desert sandstorm? Not a problem, because Cleo is FINE (even while buried under two feet of sand). It’s only when an ostrich who tells it like it is turns up that Cleo has the courage to admit that, just maybe, she’s not fine at all.

Illustrated by Carmen Saldana, this lovely story gently and humorously advises young children that it’s all very well putting on a brave face but not to the detriment of your own well-being.
