This classic, middle grade animal fable for readers ages 8-12 is an entertaining introduction to the importance of mindfulness, and how it can make a difference in the world. When Dolly Llama’s idyllic Peruvian ranch home is threatened by development of ecologically disastrous proportions, she’s filled with anxiety. Sage Papa Llama shows her how Llama Sitting can create a calm interior space to meet life’s challenges. But Dolly has her own plans! Young Dolly’s secret, surprising solution to stop the development tests her courage and leadership. The fast-paced action is driven by memorable characters: the high-drama Mama Llama, peace-loving caretaker Clare, and down-to-earth Perez family of ranchers. Combining the appeal of a talking animal tale with the multicultural themes of ecology and the endangered family, Dolly Llama Finds a Way conveys the emotional journey involved in the creation of personal awareness.
