Drawn from real life, these tender and funny comics about a young boy named Lou are a joyful exploration of self-discovery and self-expression. This is a book for all ages and will be a sure hit with comics fans of Le Petit Nicolas, Charlie and Lola, Calvin & Hobbes and Peanuts.
Meet Lou. Lou is many things: clever, creative, competitive, thoughtful, funny . . . and, most of all, FANTASTIC! He meets life's ups and downs with courage, curiosity and a plucky openheartedness. He enjoys his own thoughts and solo company but is always ready to dance, wrestle, wriggle, somersault and karate chop his way into his parents' day (or night).
With the sweetest touch and most expressive lines, Qin Leng perfectly captures the emotional essence of young childhood, while offering a celebration of imaginative play and fantasy worlds. From his bedtime antics and rock 'n' roll moves, to his bathtub heroics and toilet musings, Lou will utterly charm readers of all ages.
Throughout her career, QIN LENG has illustrated picture books, magazines and book covers with publishers around the world. Highlights include her author/illustrator debut I Am Small; Over the Shop and A Day for Sandcastles written by JonArno Lawson; Ordinary, Extraordinary Jane Austen by Deborah Hopkinson; and Family Is a Family Is a Family written by Sara O'Leary. Hana Hashimoto, Sixth Violin, written by Chieri Uegaki, was a finalist for the Governor General's Literary Award, and received the APALA Award for best picture book. Qin is also the illustrator of Sharon, Lois and Bram's Skinnamarink, One Elephant Went Out to Play and Peanut Butter and Jelly. She lives in Toronto, with her husband and her son.
