For the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting our upcoming releases for the new year. You’ll learn a bit about our 2021 releases, their authors, and information about pre-ordering.
We’ve been so proud to be the North American publisher for author/illustrator Niki Daly’s Lolo series of books for new solo readers. Niki is an award-winning and much beloved author of numerous books for children, and we’re excited to bring the exuberant, fun-loving, and curious Lolo to even more readers.
We’ve already published Here Comes Lolo and Hooray for Lolo, which were both praised by critics and both named Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selections. We’re adding one more of Niki’s delightful books to our catalog— You’re a Star, Lolo— set for release in April 2021.
You’re a Star, Lolo brings us back to Lolo, an energetic and creative girl who lives in South Africa with her mother and grandmother, Gogo. In this collection of easy-to-read stories, Lolo, hops from adventure to adventure leaving a trail of laughter behind her. In the latest entry into the Lolo series, Lolo makes her mom an extra-special soup, goes on vacation with her Gogo, and even tracks down the scary Ghorra-Ghorra-Hoooaaah-Bwoooooo-Monster sound she keeps hearing at night!
Niki is an acclaimed author and illustrator who has won the Children’s Literature Choice Award and the Parents’ Choice Silver Award. This year, he is also among the nominees for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, the world’s largest award for children’s and young adult literature. We can’t wait for more readers to discover his wit, talent, and pure love and respect for young readers. You’re A Star, Lolo is available for pre-order
