Stop Spitting at Your Brother! Life Lessons of a Rocky Mountain Llama - Softcover

Author/illustrator/singer/songwriter Diane White-Crane manages a llama trekking business in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, during the summer months. She personally hikes with two llamas by the name of Dudley and Sammy, and she also authored a best-selling hiking guidebook for that section of Colorado, "Hiking the 'Boat." Duley and Sammy are the characters in her delightful book about llamas, as well as the topics of her songs in her album, SONGS FOR LLAMA LOVERS, which was nominated for a 1999 WAMMIE by the Washington Area Music Association, "Best Children's Recording."

"...Dudley the Llama narrates the book, and Ms. White-Crane has illustrated it with love, for as she says, "Oh, you gotta llove a llama!" -- Children's Literature, Dec. 1996

"Because the story is written as if told by Dudley-the-Llama,it has major appeal to the imagination of youth. Because it is charming and often silly, it will be enjoyed by adults with a sense of wonder and faith that animals do reason, chat with one another and muse about what goes on in the world around them...The reader will learn about llamas while being entertained by this easy-going book....I would recommend this book to anyone--kids and grownups, people who have llamas and people who don't." -- Llamas magazine, Mar./April '97

"Good News For Families: Amazed to discover that no one had ever published a children's book about llamas which sought to capture this exotic animal's unique high intelligence and amusing personality, Bethesda author Diane White-Crane has written and illustrated "Stop Spitting At Your Brother!" ...(the author) presents a series of stories about life as seen through the eyes of Dudley, an independent, mischievous, but also good-hearted llama." -- Washington Families magazine, March 1997
