A backstory to the wildly popular El capibara con botas. When is it better to be yourself rather than fit in with a group? In the Amazon Rainforest, a problem is growing. Trees are disappearing. The water is strange. All the animals in this northern corner of Peru decide to be quiet rather than act. Well, not all the animals! One cute squirrel monkey is not afraid of being different.
