Synopsis

Iceland is a little country far north in the cold sea. Men found it and went there to live more than a thousand years ago. During the warm season they used to fish and make fish-oil and hunt sea-birds and gather feathers and tend their sheep and make hay. But the winters were long and dark and cold. Men and women and children stayed in the house and carded and spun and wove and knit. A whole family sat for hours around the fire in the middle of the room. That fire gave the only light. Shadows flitted in the dark corners. Smoke curled along the high beams in the ceiling. The children sat on the dirt floor close by the fire. The grown people were on a long narrow bench that they had pulled up to the light and warmth. Everybody's hands were busy with wool. The work left their minds free to think and their lips to talk. What was there to talk about?

    Laugh-out-loud funny and a wonderful story about finding your voice. I loved it! – David Walliams  
    ‘Anarchically silly fun!' – Guardian 
    Sidesplitting middle grade comedy, with serious heart (and one very funny llama). Illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, the official illustrator for World Book Day 2022. 
    Yasmin is starting secondary school soon – and her talking toy best friend Levi is well excited about it! They’ll get to continue their Guardian Llama missions to help kids with their problems, just like how Levi helped Yasmin find her voice. 
    Secretly though, Yasmin is worried that people will think she’s weird for carrying a toy llama around, and maybe it isn’t the best idea for Levi to come with her . . . 
    But with a family seaside holiday promising lots of beachside thrills to distract her, Yasmin is ready to have fun with Levi and her (human) best friend Ezra. 
    Except something’s up with Yasmin’s cousin Omar and soon, finding out what – turns out to be one of Yasmin and Levi’s toughest missions yet. 
    Another hilarious adventure full of drama and dodgems – and along the way, Yasmin learns she’s not the only one who’s worried about being weird! 
    In Llama on Holiday, Annabelle Sami presents a humorous, multicultural fantasy that children and juvenile readers will find captivating. The short stories, filled with magic, diversity, and farm animals, make it a top pick in children's literature. 
    For fans of Aisha Saeed (Zuni and the Memory Jar), Hatem Aly (The Book That Almost Rhymed), Zanib Mian (Race to the Rescue), Katherine Rundell (The Explorer), and Nizrana Farook (The Girl Who Lost a Leopard).
