Who knew we needed a Labor Day kids book?
August 18, 2026 · Paperback
“This story had me laughing almost immediately. Lulu's confusion between "Labor" and "Labrador" is exactly the kind of joke that my kid loves. It's a genuinely funny, big-hearted Labor Day story that sneaks in real lessons about work, bosses, and treating people fairly while holding kids' attention.”

5 Star Adventure for Emerging Readers
May 20, 2026
“These books have been such a delight to read with my daughter, named Lilly Loulou! She is just learning to read and we've had a lot of fun reading all of the heartache adventures together. She loves how silly they are and I love the positive lessons built into the stories as well. We can't wait to see what Lulu Lilly tackles next!”
“This was a fun and heartwarming story that teaches children important lessons about teamwork, fairness, gratitude, and the value of both work and rest. Lulu's hilarious lemonade-stand mishaps and her journey from boss to thoughtful leader make the story entertaining while still delivering a meaningful message. I especially enjoyed how the story encourages kids to appreciate the everyday workers who help their communities and to show kindness when someone is going through a difficult time.”
