🍋 Book 1 · Summer
The Great Lemonade Strike
One sour day, one stubborn lemonade stand, one very big idea.
Ages 6–9 · 1st, 2nd & 3rd grade
Chapter books + free printable activities kids actually want
Meet Lulu Lilly — brave, hilarious, and completely unable to leave a problem alone. Every book is packed with black-and-white illustrations (58 in The Great Lemonade Strike alone), fast-paced adventure, and a hands-on craft at the end.
Or play the Heartache Hero kindness game.
🎨
Illustrated on nearly every spread
Black-and-white art keeps reluctant readers moving through the story instead of stalling on a wall of text.
⚡
Mostly short, fast-moving chapters
Easy to stop at a bedtime chapter break — and easy for a kid to say "one more."
✂️
A real craft at the end
Every book finishes with a make-it-yourself project, so the story keeps going off the page.
