Harley

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling left out or struggling to find their place among peers. This gentle chapter book tells the story of Harley, a llama who doesn't get along with other llamas. Instead of trying to change, he finds a new home on a sheep ranch where his protective, solitary nature makes him the perfect guard animal. Harley discovers his unique purpose, faces his fears, and forms a deep friendship with a grumpy old ram. It’s an ideal choice for new independent readers (ages 6-9), offering a quiet, comforting message that being different isn’t just okay, it can be a superpower.
