Lulu and the Others

New York Times bestselling author and wildlife expert ELIOT SCHREFER is joining us for storytime with his picture book debut: Lulu and the Others.

Lulu is like many kids you know. She lives in a house with her family. She likes soda, hopscotch, and comic books. But there is one way Lulu is different: she’s a bonobo. 

Being the only bonobo in a human world can be lonesome. And so Lulu and her family take a long boat ride to a jungle Lulu has never seen before.

Now, she’s surrounded by creatures with faces that look like hers and who make sounds like she does. But Lulu can’t possibly be like these apes…can she?

It's an amazing read based on the true story of a bonobo raised by a human family, whom Eliot met while doing research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. With a strong emotional lesson as well as crucial environmental messages at its center, it's a read that you and your young ones just can't miss! Come by for what promises to be a fantastic morning.
