Llama Out Loud!: Annabelle Sami

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.
