New Book Preview - The Thing Lou Couldn't Do

Meet a plucky heroine who learns a big lesson in this new picture book.

The Thing Lou Couldn't Do by Ashley Spires

Lou is a daring adventuress. She’s going to be something amazing some day. There’s nothing she can’t do! Well, that’s what she thought before her friends made the tree into their pirate ship. Lou doesn’t want to admit it – in fact she does everything she can to avoid admitting it - but there’s something this daring adventuress can’t do…yet.

Why you should find a copy of this when it comes out May 2, 2017:

• It's written/illustrated by Ashley Spires! I haven’t found an Ashley Spires book that doesn’t make me smile and entertain with both its text and illustrations.
• Lou's a fun character to follow around. Read this one to kids who like fun adventure stories.
• Lou & readers learn it is ok to admit you can’t do everything or even that you’re a teensy bit afraid to try something new. 
• Lou doesn’t back down from this new challenge, though she does know when to take a break.
• And three cheers for Lou's supportive friends.
• And since it's an Ashley Spires book, cat fans rejoice, there are cute cats in the background doing their own sideline entertaining too.

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
