Lulu is brave, confident and kind! Today, she decides she wants to join a band. But finding her place in the music world might be the biggest adventure yet!
From the beloved creators of Lulu is a Rhinoceros, comes a charming story of inclusion, confidence, and never giving up—no matter what!
This is Lulu. She knows who she is and she knows what she loves too: music! Lulu wants to be a musician. She hears music everywhere she goes. Bees BUZZ in the flowers, basketballs BOUNCE on the pavement, and skateboards HUMMM along the sidewalk. Every sound around her carries its own rhythm!
But when she tries to join the Cool Cats band, they turn her away and so Lulu embarks on an adventure of her own. She’s determined to show that when you believe in yourself and treat others with kindness, anything is possible—even in the most unexpected ways.
Filled with adorable artwork by acclaimed illustrator Sophie Corrigan, Lulu Makes the Band gently explores themes of confidence, self-expression, acceptance, and individuality.

Jason Flom created the Lulu book series with his daughter, Allison Flom. The books grew out of the family’s bulldog, Lulu, and a simple idea the two of them shared: everyone deserves to be seen for who they really are. In 2025, Lulu Is a Rhinoceros became an animated musical special on Apple TV, co-executive produced by Jason and Allison with original songs by Allison and a cast that includes Auliʻi Cravalho, Alex Newell, Dulé Hill, Paul Rust, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Rhys Darby.
Beyond children’s books, Jason is co-founder and CEO of Lava Media and one of the country’s leading advocates for criminal justice reform. As a record executive, he helped launch Lorde, Katy Perry, Paramore, and Matchbox Twenty, among many others. The thread through his work, across books, television, music, and reform, is a belief that the right story can change how people see each other.
Allison Flom is a writer from New York City, passionate about replacing judgment with curiosity. She wrote the ANNIE-nominated script and lyrics for the Apple TV musical special Lulu is a Rhinoceros, and created the award-winning podcast Erased. Allison leads weekly art workshops with incarcerated women and is committed to supporting system-impacted New Yorkers. She loves co-authoring the Lulu stories with her dad!
