Lulu Has a Field Day

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with intense perfectionism or the 'win at all costs' mentality that often leads to frustration during sports or games. While many children feel that losing is a personal failure, this story reframes success as an act of character rather than a spot on a podium. Lulu is a Tiny Folk character who has spent a long time preparing for a head-to-head race against a rival. When that rival gets injured, Lulu faces a pivotal choice: take the easy win or stop to help. Set in an engaging fantasy world of tiny creatures, the graphic novel format makes the emotional stakes easy to read through character expressions. It is a perfect choice for children ages 5 to 8 who are navigating the social complexities of competition, empathy, and what it truly means to be a teammate.
