When baby llama notices he looks different from his mama, a gentle conversation unfolds—one that introduces him to the beauty, bravery, and boundless love behind his adoption story.

More than just a bedtime favorite, Baby Llama Has a New Mama is a trampoline for adoptive families—a tool to spark open, early conversations about adoption in a way that is comforting, truthful, and uplifting. Adopted children will walk away feeling proud, seen, and deeply loved—not once, but twice.
About The Author
Angeli Skalberg
