Author's Words
Lou and His Mane is particularly special to me because it is my first published story. I shared it many times with my own children in daycare, and it remained in my mind until I wrote it down. I created Lou to teach empathy, cooperation, solidarity, and compassion, showing young readers that friends and family can help us face our fears while reminding us of our worth.
