She told fans on Instagram "Baboo the Unusual Bee is the rhyming story of a little pink bee, who loves to dance. Bullied and ignored by the others he leaves the hive, and discovers (with a little help from a new equally unique friend) that what makes him so different is in fact what makes him special."
Lliana added, "At his heart, this is book about celebrating our differences, and realising that rather than being our weaknesses they can be our super powers.
"I really hope your kids enjoy reading it as much as mine have when it’s out this sept (you can preorder it now), and that if any of them have been made to feel “othered” that this helps them reframe that in a loving and fun way."
The book is suitable for children aged two to six.
