Lou! #2

Two girls stretch out on a sun-warmed blanket in a lush green meadow, one sketching in a notebook while the other daydreams beside a curious little cat — it's a scene that captures lazy summer days with genuine charm. Julien Neet's soft, rounded art gives Lou! Summertime Blues a warmth that feels immediately inviting, perfectly suited to the "Summertime Blues" subtitle's promise of sunny-season adventure with just a hint of wistfulness. Published by Lerner Publishing Group in 2012, this second volume of the Lou! series is a delightful pick for readers who love heartfelt, easygoing slice-of-life stories.
