This book and the Looky Lou were inspired by our daughter, Navy, who was super shy and took a while to warm up to new environments and people. We knew that Navy wasn't alone (and we, as her parents, weren't either!). So we set out to tell a story that celebrates bravery, friendship, and the joy that comes from stepping out of your comfort zone. Lou's journey from hiding away to basking in the limelight is a heartwarming reminder that we all have a bit of bravery inside us, just waiting to shine.   The book also connects the character Lou to the rattle that attaches to any device, helping bring Lou to life for babies and kids — leading to better photos and bigger smiles.    As our first book, we had a lot of fun figuring out how we'd capture Lou's story and once we had the vision, it sort of just fell into place. We love the lesson that this book remind us all of — a little wave and a big smile can make all the difference! Lou the lion is shy, scared, and feels like he might cry. But then, someone smiles at Lou, he feels better, and becomes brave. The story reinforces the idea of smiling at Lou, and brings his feelings to life in a relatable way for your littles. If you have a child that takes a beat to warm up, or could use a tool to feel more confident during life's memorable moments, you're in the right place. "The friend he needed was always you." Say hello to lovable Lou. An act of kindness turns a shy lion into a brave friend. Kaitlyn, a former entrepreneur, is the heart and soul of Lou. Inspired by their daughter's shyness, Kaitlyn craved a way to make family photos fun for the whole family. She shares Chad's perspective, "what is life if we're not having fun with it?"  Chad, the reluctant co-founder, said no many times — but Kaitlyn is very persuasive.  He saw Lou as a "great excuse to build something totally unique as husband and wife" which is pretty much the best reason to start a business.  Kaitlyn and Chad live in sunny Santa Barbara with their two kids.
