Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs Awareness Tour presented in partnership* with P.E. Shadrick and The Children’s Book Review.
Step into a whimsical world with Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs as our virtual book tour takes flight!
In this charming story, six-year-old Lisbeth wakes up to find her hair tangled. Her grandmother explains that playful ladybugs are responsible for the knots. Through a playful tale of the ladybugs’ grand gala, Lisbeth learns about the importance of shared responsibility in a fun and engaging way. Vibrant watercolor illustrations by Maya Penzlik are sure to enchant readers.
Buoyant detail and a sense of warmth distinguish both of the book’s realities: the everyday family relationship with its PJs and smiles, and the gorgeous imaginative world of the ladybugs, who dance, sew, and show off fancy-funny costumes against a backdrop of sun-kissed flowers. These are pages to soak up and get lost in.
