Yannets Levi (Hebrew: ינץ לוי, born 14 June, 1975) is an Israeli author, playwright, TV host and lecturer.

Uncle Leo's Adventures (Hebrew: הרפתקאות דוד אריה) by Yannets Levi is one of Israel's most popular book series for children.

The series is published in Arabic, Czech, Korean, English (India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Bhutan), Japanese, Chinese, Hungarian and Macedonian.

[9] An Uncle Leo's Adventures' reading play in Arabic, based on the 1st book in the series premiered in January 2016 in the Elmina Theater (Jaffa) that promotes tolerance and co-existence in Israel.

Levi's best-selling book, Tales of the Forest Man (2010, illustrated by Liora Grossman), is a collection of 9 retold fables about plants accompanied by botanical information.

Levi's best-selling and critically acclaimed novel for adults, Living Hope (Hebrew: תוחלת החיים של אהבה), was published in August 2015.

In December 2017 the play "Uncle Leo's Adventures with Ragepunch the Witch" by Levi premiered in Habima, Israel's national Theatre.

Directed by Norman Issa, the play, titled "Amu Osama" (Uncle Leo), was written by Levi who knows Arabic.

In such crazy days, when hatred and segregation dominate our lives, I'm glad there's an Uncle Leo play in Arabic that makes children laugh.
