Lulu #2

From BD Kids and Bayard Presse comes this sunny 2014 entry in Marylise Morel's charming Lulu series — Tout schuss! — subtitled with a spirit that matches its brilliant yellow cover. Lulu herself zooms across the page on inline skates, grinning with infectious confidence, her purple top and green pants a pop of color as speed lines blur behind her and her wrist and knee guards hint at adventures that don't always go smoothly. It's a warm, kid-friendly package that captures exactly the kind of fearless, full-speed energy young readers love.
