Loula has had enough of her terrible triplet brothers and decides to run away to Africa. Luckily, her mother's chauffeur, Gilbert, knows just how to get there. Together, Loula and Gilbert ride camels, cross a desert and, most important, use heaps of imagination in this heartwarming adventure.
"A paean to imagination and an artful acknowledgment of children's needs and frustrations, leavened with poignancy and humor."
Kirkus Reviews - Starred Review
"The ink and watercolor illustrations have the classic look of Ludwig Bemelmans's "Madeline" series. Read this title as a part of travel- or siblings-themed storytimes."
