Lou by Breanna Carzoo
Youll never be able to look at a fire hydrant the same way again! A BARNES AND NOBLE CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARDS SHORTLIST PICK! A KIRKUS BEST PICTURE BOOK OF 2022! A 2024 COLORADO CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD NOMINEE!
Carzoo uses direct, heartfelt prose and toylike images to infuse a quotidian object with winning personality and genuine poignancy—it won’t be a stretch for readers to identify with this small, put-upon character who discovers a bigger sense of purpose— Publishers Weekly (starred review) A truly exceptional read. Children, librarians, educators, and caregivers will love returning to this book over and over. Gee whiz, this book is No. 1! — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Carzoo’s hilarious debut marries a clever conceit with irresistible character design (an object with big eyes and little mouth) to charm readers and impart a nice story of self-discovery. Sharp cut-paper collage brings Lou’s street to life, with a variety of pups in amusing poses and bright colors set off by white backdrops. Great fun, sure to make a splash at story time. — Booklist Beyond the obvious and sweet message that everyone contains more potential for greatness than meets the eye, viewers may think twice about life-saving infrastructure that blends into the sidelines when out on a walk with their pups. — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
