"Fernando and his Llama" tells the tale of a deaf boy from Colombia, who moves to Canada, struggles to keep up in school and make friends, until he meets a Llama, who is also deaf. They become fast friends but more importantly, they find a way to communicate with each other, and this bond and connection help them maneuver a number of challenges along their journey. With teachable moments like respecting others' differences, how to sign different animals, and how to appropriately talk to deaf people, this show will both entertain and touch your heart. Concessions available.
