Henry Wondered: A Story About Jealousy, Serendipity, And … Flamenco!

Just the way you are–is just right!

From the author of That’s How it Was: Operation Finders Keepers, comes Hazel Pacheco’s first picture book in the Henry and Friends series-Henry Wondered.

Somewhere in the bosque, in the open spaces near the Rio Grande, lives a covey of quail … In this episode, Henry wonders about many things. In particular, how to impress his first crush! When a handsome roo enters the picture, all seems doomed. Will Federico, a stranger and self-proclaimed talented flamingo dancer, foil Henry’s plan to impress Gloria? Follow Henry as he discovers the wonder of serendipity.

Beautifully illustrated, Henry Wondered presents an educational, yet humorous tale that celebrates wonder and delivers a subtle faith inspired message that encourages overcoming pride and jealousy.

This read-aloud book is sure to capture the hearts and attention of children ages 4+ and might even capture the notice of some adult kids as well. Henry Wondered can be enjoyed by bird lovers and those especially interested in learning about the New Mexico Gambel’s Quail.

As a bonus, this picture book features a short glossary.

Stay tuned for book two, Federico Exaggerated, coming fall of 2022!
