Ladybug Girl and the Pumpkin Patch cover

It's Halloween and Lulu must decide on a costume. Should she be Ladybug Girl or something new? She tries different costume ideas, from a robot to a silent movie star to a vampire panda, but nothing seems right. Maybe she'll think of the perfect costume as she spends the day picking apples, going on a hayride, and navigating a corn maze. But it isn't until Lulu and Bingo help a little girl who is lost in the maze that, at last, she knows what she should be for Halloween - Ladybug Girl, of course! After all, she is Ladybug Girl, and it is important to just be yourself.

Praise for Ladybug Girl and the Dress-up Dilemma

"Soman's watercolors are right at home with autumn's muted hues ... helping make this thoughtful story another winner for Ladybug Girl."—Publishers Weekly
 “Readers and their parents will appreciate how Lulu works through her dilemma on her own. Not only is this an entertaining story, but it's also a good conversation starter about being true to oneself.”—Kirkus
