Lulu’s Color – a touching book on children with vitiligo

“Lulu” means pearl in Arabic—a name given to symbolize something precious, beautiful, and rare. And that’s exactly what little Lulu is.

Curious, cheerful, and full of life, Lulu loves exploring and playing with the people around her. But something unexpected begins to happen… Lulu starts to change—one pale spot at a time.

What’s happening to her?

Will others see her the same way?

Will she still have friends?

Lulu’s Colour: The Girl Who Turned Pearly White is a touching and uplifting storybook that gently introduces children to themes of change, appearance differences, confidence, inclusion, and inner beauty.
