Author Description

Lulu the Ladybug just wants to play. But when the other bugs tell her she's too different to join in, she starts to wonder... maybe she does need to change. Should she try new spots? A louder voice? Different games? Just when Lulu feels like giving up, a quiet new friend named Mo shows her that being herself might be the most magical thing of all. Set in a whimsical forest full of glowing mushrooms and miniature playgrounds, Lulu the Ladybug is a heartwarming tale of courage, kindness, and the power of staying true to who you are.

Perfect for children ages 3-8, this beautifully illustrated book opens the door to conversations about inclusion, friendship, and self-worth. Includes thoughtful discussion prompts and printable activities to extend the magic beyond the story.
