Description

Lana the llama lives in the farmyard with all of her sheep friends. She loves being part of their flock, but she knows that she doesn’t fit in—her legs and neck are much too long, and her ‘baa’ is very baaad. Lana does her best to look like the other sheep, until one day a bully arrives, and Lana has to stand up for herself and her friends.

About the author

Editorial Reviews

Teachers/caregivers can use this book to discuss accepting oneself and valuing one’s attributes, even when they are different from the rest. The mention of bullying comes up in the story and teachers/caregivers can use Lana Llama as a tool to start discussions on that topic. Highly Recommended

Elizabeth Brown

Every Lori Doody picture book that comes out is a treat for the heart and the eyes

This delightfully illustrated story is sure to appeal to early primary children. Classroom Connections: Educators could use Lana Llama as an effective springboard to discussions about bullying and self-acceptance

Brenda Boreham

Lori Doody books have become some of our favourite titles over the past few years. [...] The illustrations are distinct and instantly recognizable, and the puns throughout both the imagery and the story are entertaining for all ages.

Melanie Métivier

Valuable life lessons in playful, quirky and distinctively illustrated packages

Lisa Doucet

The themes of self-acceptance and standing up (quite literally) for friends will help this quiet book resonate with many.
