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

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.

Praise for Speak Up, Molly Lou Melon

Praise for Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon:

"Leave it to Molly to transform all her 'faults' into marvelous talents . . . Leaves readers with the feeling that anything can be accomplished if you are the best person you can be and make the most of your gifts."
—Kirkus Reviews

"The text is fast and funny, and Molly Lou is a fetching little heroine. Catrow's palette is intense . . . This will make a comic readaloud."—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"What keeps the storytelling fresh is the crisp prose and the heroine's full-spead-ahead determination . . . Catrow's full-bleed pencil-and-watercolor illustrations, awash in ripe colors and animated by slapstick exaggeration, radiate a winningly eccentric elegance." —Publishers Weekly

Praise for Have Fun, Molly Lou Melon:

"Will be appreciated by many." —Booklist

"Catrow's cartoon-style pencil, watercolor, and collage illustrations match Molly Lou's lavish imagination. . . . Words and pictures work well to present a straightforward lesson on the value of good old-fashioned play." —School Library Journal
