Remy and Lulu — Kevin Hawkes

Ooh la la! From New York Times bestseller Kevin Hawkes, illustrator of "Library Lion" and "Weslandia," comes the charming story of a dog and her owner who become the toast of Paris.

Lulu and her master, Remy, a passionate but struggling portrait painter, wander the French countryside looking for customers. They don't need much business -- just enough for some figs and cheese to keep their bellies full -- but not many people seem to appreciate Remy's abstract style.

Before long, Lulu secretly lends a paw to Remy's work and -- voilà! -- the pair are the most celebrated artists on the salon circuit. If only Remy knew why...

With art from both beloved children's book illustrator Kevin Hawkes and award-winning miniatures artist Hannah Harrison, this funny and heartwarming story about friendship and creativity shows that there are many ways to be good at the same thing ... and that a true friend is always there for you.
