What is The Lotta and Lola series by Lauren Child about?

Written from 2026, Lauren Child’s Lotta and Lola is a picture-book series about two small, very chattery friends. In the opening story, they explore kindness, manners and the importance of saying “please” and “thank you”; later adventures turn towards friendship, individuality and discovering that friends need not like exactly the same things. With playful dialogue and plenty of child-sized misunderstandings, the series should appeal to pre-school and early-years readers, especially fans of Charlie and Lola. No significant content warnings beyond mild mischief and frustration.
