This story book involves Lula having a special place which she is in danger of losing, as the family have had to sell their house to make way for a new road. At a time when we hear often how people are having to move because of new developments, this picture book allows children to consider the importance of protecting special environments. The story has a message about looking after nature and the environment. This helps the reader to reflect on a sensitive issue in a way that encourages empathy and understanding. It educates children in early years to become aware of connections between people’s decisions and the environment.
