In this charming read-aloud, Lulu the ladybug finds that though she cannot fly like other ladybugs, her determination, kindness, and grit are all she needs.

With humor, darling illustrations, and galloping rhymes, Laura Algood's tale of a determined little ladybug running a marathon to help her friends will inspire resilience and empathy in your little listeners. Perfect to encourage any kid who has battles of her own
