Sometimes it's really nice to be a little different. Laila finds out about this in 'Laila the ladybug' by Bas Kleinhout. Bas Kleinhout is a designer, art director and illustrator, and 'Laila the ladybug' is his debut. It is not only funny and heartwarming, but also has a beautiful message about creativity and being who you are. Even if it is something different every day. With simple shapes in earthy colors and bright red, he manages to create an incredibly expressive character. Little Laila learns a lot about herself and as a reader you will immediately take her to your heart. When you think of ladybugs, you think of dots. Sometimes a lot, sometimes just two, but they always have them. Laila is not like the other ladybugs: she does not have one dot. She thinks she won't feel like a real ladybug until she has dots, so she draws them on her shell with berry juice. But those dots disappear with the rain. All her hard work is gone and Laila gives up, until she meets a dung beetle. With every movement, the color of his shield changes: purple, green, blue... He is never exactly the same. That gives Laila an idea. Who says she has to always make the same dots with that berry juice? Product details Laila the ladybug Sometimes it's really nice to be a little different.
