Speak Up, Molly Lou Melon by Lovell, Patty

The beloved modern classic character, Molly Lou Melon, is tackling the timely topic of speaking up for yourself and others.

Molly Lou Melon's mother taught her to use her big voice for good--to speak up for what's right, for those who can't, and even when it's hard. So she does.

So when school starts and a bully begins teasing everyone, including a new student, Molly Lou knows just what to do.

From standing up for a friend to admitting when you've made a mistake, Molly Lou shows us how speaking up is always the right choice.

The beloved classic character has another important message to share, and David Catrow's vibrant and spunky illustrations continue to expand Molly Lou's larger-than-life personality. Be sure to look for Molly Lou's other books, Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon and Have Fun, Molly Lou Melon.
