2This first book of the series introduces Lulu, an adventurous dung beetle who likes to explore new things. Tutu, the baby elephant, "makes" Lulu a special banana treat. Lulu is excited to share this new food with her village, but she is not allowed to bring it in. Later that night, Lulu and her sickly brother, Niko, sneak some of the banana dung. Niko loves it and they decide to keep it a secret. Enjoy making your own tasty dung with Chef Lily who walks you through recipes so you can join Lulu and Niko eating delicious (human) treats! Join Lulu on her adventures as she discovers delicious treats to share with Niko. Trying new foods teaches them of the healthy benefits and Niko becomes a healthier beetle because of the variety of foods. Chef Lily provides simple recipes for you to make and enjoy with each adventure. Tanya and her husband Joel live in Denton, Texas. They share a love of dogs and rescue all they can. While walking the dogs, Tanya would daydream and perfect Lulu's adventures. She believes the Lord put the stories in her heart to be shared and add joy to the world. Sara Schroeder, her personal coach, encouraged her to write and publish the stories. Sara also introduced Tanya to Lo Ellis who became the illustrator. Tanya and Lo connected immediately. They are a perfect match! This is their first book of the series with many more to look forward too!
