Synopsis

A story about a little troublemaker with a big heart who must defend her name from a class bully, from the New York Times bestselling author and noted speaker Luvvie Ajayi Jones.

Little Luvvie is ready for her first day at a new school!

But immediately things do not go well. First, a kid in class makes fun of her name. How dare he! But Luvvie’s instant response gets her scolded. Then she forgets her lunch. And worst of all, her teacher sees a private note Luvvie had written to herself where she talked about how much she doesn’t like her new school. What a day! But this little troublemaker figures out how to turn things around.

In this remarkably relatable book, Little Luvvie, the star of Little Troublemaker Makes a Mess, learns that she can be kind even as she stands up for herself, and that learning from mistakes can open her up to making new friends who respect and appreciate her.

Written by the New York Times bestselling author Luvvie Ajayi Jones, this funny, sweet story is dedicated to all the kids whose names might feel too different. It reminds us that our names are worth getting right and celebrating.
