Niki Daly Press Reviews
Suitable for early readers moving onto chapter books...sweet, simple stories...Punctuated by beautiful black and white drawings by the author. - Children's Books Ireland
Sparkly stories all, with lots of gentle humour that will win Lolo lots of friends among young readers who are sure to enjoy making the acquaintance of this enormously engaging girl. - Red Reading Hub
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. - IBBY
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. - Book Trust - Books We Love
Lolo is thoughtful and caring and she is very good at considering the feelings of others. Each book would be a wonderful pick for a learning setting, encouraging conversations about emotions and friendships. Great reads. - Mama Filz
The superb storytelling, gentle morality, humour and bounce make Here Comes Lolo a truly recommended selection for newer readers. - Book Wagon
A cheerful, heart-warming collection...Lolo is that wonderful blend of profound and cheeky that you often find in Year 2, and my listeners loved her. The children immediately empathised with her and couldn't wait to read the rest of the book for themselves. The setting is really vibrant, with lots of little details that bring her school, home and family to vivid life. - Books for Topics
Relatable and resonant, sowing seeds of compassion and connection between the reader and Lolo. The expressive black-and-white illustrations lovingly depict Lolo and her community. An endearing protagonist and clear thematic messages make this first in a series a winsome pick for early readers. - Publishers Weekly
