Hooray for Lolo

“Ideal for newly independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring the stories to life.”

“The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books for children of this age combine highly readable tone and a feisty young character of colour.”

“Lolo is thoughtful and caring and she is very good at considering the feelings of others. Each book would be a wonderful pick for a learning setting, encouraging conversations about emotions and friendships. Great reads.”

“Sparkly stories all, with lots of gentle humour that will win Lolo lots of friends among young readers who are sure to enjoy making the acquaintance of this enormously engaging girl.”

“Suitable for early readers moving onto chapter books…sweet, simple stories…Punctuated by beautiful black and white drawings by the author.”
