Reception
A Kids Lit review says, "Captured in the illustrations are her sense of self and freedom. Lovely to see in a book for girls, Lulu is not squeamish and has a vivid imagination that keeps her more than busy enough while everyone is busy. The illustrations are full of movement, breeze and joy. They capture a day spent outside alone and the fun that can be found there. [http://kidslit.menashalibrary.org/archives/018437.html] A
Kirkus Reviews review says, "Amusing watercolor and line illustrations capture Lulu at her most bored and Ladybug Girl at her most adventurous. Ideal inspiration for little ones seeking empowerment." [Kirkus Reviews, 1/1/2008, Vol. 76 Issue 1, p39-39, 1/5p. (Book Review)] It is a best seller. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9405E0DE103AF932A25756C0A96E9C8B63]References
