Here Comes Lolo

"Relatable and resonant, sowing seeds of compassion and connection between the reader and Lolo. The expressive black-and-white illustrations lovingly depict Lolo and her community. An endearing protagonist and clear thematic messages make this first in a series a winsome pick for early readers."

* Publishers Weekly *

"A cheerful, heart-warming collection...Lolo is that wonderful blend of profound and cheeky that you often find in Year 2, and my listeners loved her. The children immediately empathised with her and couldn't wait to read the rest of the book for themselves. The setting is really vibrant, with lots of little details that bring her school, home and family to vivid life."
