Luka, the Reluctant Llama Leader

Luka, the Reluctant Llama Leader is a humorous picture book that illustrates how an ordinary llama’s interest in protecting his herd invokes “the challenge,” – resulting in his new role as leader and the ensuing trouble. It combines the sweet naivete of Winnie the Pooh with the crazy group dynamics of Disney’s Ice Age. The message of listening and building out an idea as a leadership style is unique in today’s picture book market. The social and emotional learning (SEL) concepts would likely be new to young listeners and appeal to parents, teachers, and librarians.
