Shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize Younger Readers Prize 2021
Sidesplitting middle grade comedy,with serious heart (and one very funny llama)
Yasmin Shah is a ten-year-old girl who is part of a big,noisy family and doesn't ever speak. Levi is a rude,sassy toy llama,who talks A LOT and has come to wreak havoc in Yasmin's life.
Yasmin tries everything she can to escape Levi,but she can't help being dragged along on his crazy antics - and every day brings a new surprise,whether that's an erupting bin,a flying tuna fish,or a hat made from knickers. Life is never boring with Levi around - and could it be that he has a secret plan to help Yasmin find her voice
Annabelle Sami is a writer,director and performer who currently works in the arts. While reading children's books when babysitting she realised there was a lack of representation of funny girls and diverse characters in children's books - and she decided to do something about it. Growing up mixed-race,she never found her own life reflected in a book and now it's her mission to make sure that every spirited,witty and adventurous girl has her own special book that she can relate to.
