Lola Levine Runs Out of Steam

Lola Levine loves to participate but realizes she might be overcommitted, in this charming chapter book series by acclaimed author Monica Brown.
Lola is doing TOO much! She loves all her activities, especially soccer and volunteering at the Humane Society. And she's certain that she can handle it all. But how much is too much?
When Lola gets sick and has to miss all of her favorite hobbies, she begins to see that balance and rest are just as important as her other activities. Lola is NOT a good patient, but ultimately learns that our bodies (and minds) sometimes need a break.

Monica Brown is the author of many magical multicultural books for children, including the Lola Levine series and the award-winning Waiting for the Biblioburro / Esperando el biblioburro, Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match / Marisol McDonald no combina, and Frida and Her Animalitos. Monica's books are inspired by her Peruvian and Jewish heritage and her desire to bring inspiring stories to children. Monica lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, where she is a professor of English at Northern Arizona University. She invites you to visit her online at monicabrown.net.
