Dial Books, 2010. Picture book.
Lulu, also known as the fearless Ladybug Girl when she dons
her wings, can’t wait to go swimming in the waves on her first trip to the
beach. But when she finally gets there, she finds the ocean much more
intimidating than she expected. She spends the day with her dog Bingo, building
sand castles, flying kites, and avoiding the water. But when her favorite
purple pail is taken by the tide, it’s time to face her fears. This is a job
for Ladybug Girl! A sweet story about first experiences and exploring nature
which realistically portrays the process of gradually building up courage and
confidence to do something scary.
