Lulu the One and Only
Lulu loves her family, but people are always asking, “What are you?” Lulu hates that question.
Her brother inspires her to come up with a “power phrase” so she can easily express who she is, not what she is. Included is a Note to Readers from the author, sharing her experience as a multiracial person.

Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“This book does more than simply tell a single story of biracial experience: It talks about navigating everyday racism in sensitive, but frank, ways. This affirmation is just as important as the power phrase. . . . All children will benefit from this pitch-perfect discussion of race, identity, complexity, and beauty.”—starred, Kirkus Reviews
