Fly High, Lolo

Lolo's kind-hearted! Lolo's creative! Lolo's full of fun!


Four new easy-to-read stories about the delightful and irrepressible Lolo and her daily life in a South African township, perfect for early readers. In Fly High, Lolo!, Lolo dreams of being an eagle in the school play, meets Miss Teen the Beauty Queen, goes on a beach clean-up with Mama and her new friend - and makes beautiful recycled Christmas decorations.

"Sparkly stories with lots of gentle humour."

"The outstanding feature of this series of books is that very few books for children of this age combine highly readable tone and a feisty young character of colour."

"Ideal for newly independent readers to increase their confidence, each page is illustrated with characterful black-and-white illustrations that bring the stories to life."

"Suitable for early readers moving onto chapter books...sweet, simple stories...Punctuated by beautiful black and white drawings."

"Lolo is back with four new adventures as she learns about facing disappointment, dealing with body image issues, finding out her mom’s new boyfriend isn’t as bad as she expected, and conservation and recycling. Filled with charming black-and-white illustrations, this beautiful addition to the slice-of-life series can stand alone."
