What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Molly Lou enthusiastically embraces her mother’s instructions to be true to herself, take responsibility, and accept people for who they are along with all their differences… While standing up to bullies is nothing new for the perpetually self-confident protagonist, the whimsical approach paired with Catrow’s familiar signature ink and watercolor caricatures make this an easily digestible lesson in making good choices and speaking up.” –School Library Journal
“Molly Lou Melon uses her voice to stand up for a new friend 19 years after she learned to stand up for herself … Lovell’s text places this strong protagonist at the centers of a loving family and friend group, making her a role model for readers, with her fearless standing up and speaking out.. . An encouraging message in a quirky package.” - Kirkus Reviews
