About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is acting like the world revolves around them or is struggling to make friends due to a lack of cooperation. While Lulu is a literal princess, her entitlement and 'royal' attitude are relatable to any child who finds it hard to share or compromise. The story follows Lulu as she is sent to a rugged summer camp to learn how to be a team player. Through humor and a slightly gross encounter with a skunk, Lulu realizes that being a leader is more about helping others than giving orders. It is a perfect choice for kids aged 6 to 9 who are transitioning into longer chapter books and need a lighthearted way to discuss social dynamics and humility.

The book handles social exclusion in a secular, direct manner. Lulu's initial isolation is a natural consequence of her behavior. The resolution is hopeful and realistic: she doesn't change her entire personality, but she learns to adapt to her environment.
