Anna McQuinn – författare

Age range 5 to 9Lulu has her library card. She has her rucksack full of borrowed books. Most important of all, she has a big smile on her face because it's Tuesday and she and her Mummy are going to the library...Once there, she enjoys storytime and rhyme time, then she chooses new books to take home. Lulu's Mummy is a role model too - choosing her own books to take out and reading to Lulu at bedtime - they have a new story AND an old favourite to end the day.Lulu is beloved by parents of young children and librarians the world over - her enthusiasm for books and stories is wonderfully captured in the bright and endearing artwork which perfectly compliments the simple text.At a time when libraries are under threat, Lulu shows the impact that easy access to books and reading can have on a young child (and their family) in growing enthusiastic readers and learners: 'Lulu can convince us all that books and stories are absolutely the best thing in the world.' - The Reading Zone
