About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the 'director complex.' It is perfect for those moments when a well-intentioned play session turns into a meltdown because a sibling or friend isn't following the script or 'ruining' the vision. The story follows Lulu (Ladybug Girl) as she attempts to stage a backyard circus, only to be constantly interrupted by her toddler brother, Fly. Through Lulu's eyes, children see a realistic portrayal of the frustration that comes with sharing creative control. The book beautifully models the shift from seeing a younger sibling as a 'pest' to seeing them as a partner. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are learning to navigate the messy, often lopsided dynamics of sibling play and the importance of flexibility over perfection.
