Book SynopsisLeonard and Loulou explores the important theme of being bullied as a child and not feeling good enough compared to peers. When Leonard wakes up one morning, a cat is sitting on his bed, thus begins the start of a wonderful friendship between a boy and a cat—Leonard and Loulou. Loulou takes Leonard to the cats’ and dogs’ world and teaches him how to be more self-confident, while Leonard teaches the cats and dogs how human beings express their feelings.

Leonard and Loulou helps young children and adults alike to speak about their feelings and encourages a feeling of importance in their lives.
