# My Lala - Hardcover

by **Thomas King** (Author), **Charlene Chua** (Illustrator)

**A joyful picture book about confidence featuring a little girl making her mark on the world, from acclaimed author Thomas King, and for fans of _Ladybug Girl_.**

Lala wakes up one morning and decides that she owns the world. Quick as a fox, she bounds to her box of treasures and finds her shiny red dots -- to mark what is hers, because there's nothing that's not!

Lala's bear gets a dot, as does her blankie, boots, and even the markers she uses to make scrawls on her walls. When she finishes labeling everything in her room and goes to label her dad-daddy's socks, Lala realizes that she's out of dots! But when Lala discovers that she can simply create her own red dots, will anything be safe from Lala?

Join rambunctious Lala on her quest to own the world in this joyful picture book that celebrates confidence and positive thinking.
