But she knows that can’t be true!
Because Lulu is a rhinoceros!
Kids will love this inspiring and funny picture book about a spunky bulldog who has the courage to be herself. “The perfect storyline to talk to kids about so many topics!”—Neuroclastic
Lulu knows she is a rhinoceros. She may have soft, fuzzy fur and a little nub that wiggles when she’s happy—but in her heart, she has thick gray skin and a tail that whips and twirls. And more than anything, Lulu would like her very own rhinoceros horn! “If only I had my horn, they would finally see the REAL me!”
As Lulu sets out to find her horn, she meets all sorts of dogs and even pigeons who don’t understand her. To them, Lulu does not look like a rhinoceros! But Lulu doesn’t let others stand in her way. Soon, she meets a small friend that makes a big difference in her life. With help from her new friend, Lulu realizes that the courage to be herself was inside her all along ...
The first picture book in a new series, Lulu is a Rhinoceros takes readers on an adventure through New York City and into Central Park Zoo to fetch and retrieve the most important possession Lulu owns—her identity!
