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.
