Lolly and ‘Tudes
Children’s Picture Book
“an intriguing . . . tale about love, persistence, and emotions.” –Kirkus Review
Watch out for Opal and Arlie! Giggles may erupt. Tears may flow. Feet may dance or fists might fly. You just never know what emotions may be whirling around. These two are full of attitude. Does this make them less lovable? In this beautifully illustrated children’s book, little boys and girls will see their own emotions reflected and be assured of their grandmother’s unconditional love.
“A beautiful story that reassures children of a grandmother’s unwavering love through every up and down of their emotions. A sweet tale to share with my grandchildren!”
Connecting generations one picture book at a time
Kristen N. Dobson
Before becoming an author, Kristen N. Dobson was a kid. And although she’s now a parent and grandparent, she’s still a kid at heart. You’ll often find her hiding in the children’s section of her favorite Michigan public libraries, pondering life lessons from her favorite philosophers, Calvin and Hobbes. After teaching writing for over 30 years, Kristen finally let her own stories—sparked by her truly grand grandchildren—come to life. Her LollyBooks series celebrates the beauty and joy of generational connections with humor and heart.
