Plot summary
[edit]Lulu's family is busy so she plays with her dog Bingo and spends time outside helping ants bypass rocks, crossing puddles that she imagines could contain sharks, and fixing up a rock fort, in their spacious backyard.
Reception
[edit]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.[1] 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."[2] It is a best seller.[3]
