What inspired the creation of Lola Dutch?
We see Lola Dutch as an emblem of creative energy personified: a figure of active, fun, and inspired learning. All kids are born curious, but some need a bit of encouragement to create.
We also hope Lola Dutch will give parents and teachers confidence to help those kids, even when, at their peak imaginative and active times, we find ourselves saying, 'You are just too much'(Always with a smile, of course) Passive learning might often feel like the easier path.
but creativity and hands-on learning is never 'too much'.
Our goal is for Lola Dutch to inspire kids to be curious about the world around them, and then to dive in and create on their own. Lola Dutch is the first in a series of picture books that will
continue to explore the endless fun in self-directed, creative learning, and we hope you find that 'a little bit much' is just enough.
What is your creative process? Do you enjoy collaborating?
Kenneth is a teacher, and Sarah is a full-time illustrator, but both of us come from theater backgrounds, so we look at many of our projects like a theatrical production. We start by diving into a character to define who they are and what they value. Then we throw the characters at a problem to see how they act and react often with funny faces and sound effects included! After several story drafts and character sketches, a story starts to rise to the top and just feels 'right'.
Stepping into the role of an author/illustrator couple was pretty intuitive because that type of energetic, attentive collaboration feels natural to us. At the end of the day, Kenneth is the author
and Sarah is the illustrator, but the creative process is very cooperative and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
What do you want readers to take away from the book?
Our message is to let children be curious and give them the resources they need to explore that curiosity. We are convinced that everyone is born with a sense of wonder and an urge to discover, but this modern world we live in can both intentionally and unintentionally squash that magic out of children.
We need children to grow up and be the innovators, inventors, leaders and critical thinkers that will continue to make our world a more beautiful and interesting place. We need them to be the
ones to ask the questions and then have the drive to create something that makes us all better for it. Just remember that the insatiable three year old who keeps asking 'Why' today will one day be telling us all How.
We hope Lola gives children permission (and gives parents, teachers, and mentors encouragement) to make a bit of a mess, and to be 'a little bit much' as they engage in curious and creative learning.

Meet Lola Dutch! Created by long-time Etsy sensation Sarah Jane Wright and her husband Kenneth, this delightfully creative character is perfect for fans of Eloise, Fancy Nancy, and Olivia.
Lola Dutch is a delightfully creative girl who is bursting with grand ideas.
From the best ways to serve breakfast -- an elegant feast! -- to the ideal sleeping spot -- a majestic blanket fort, of course! -- Lola is inspired all day long.
Her dear companion Bear sometimes says she is just too much, but Lola is rich with imagination and originality, which even Bear will agree is AMAZING.The unstoppable Lola Dutch is about to show you how to make every day grand and full of fun. You’ll love her somuch!
Inspired by their own four gorgeously feisty children, Sarah Jane and Kenneth Wright are thrilled to introduce the unstoppable Lola Dutch and her fresh, fun, commercial, character-driven series.
PreS-Gr 2—Lola Dutch is a creative and imaginative girl filled with grand ideas. When Lola and her friends, Pig, Crane, Gator, and Bear need breakfast, Lola doesn't settle for plain toast. She prepares a feast of grits, pastries, and crepes. When Lola and her friends get creative one afternoon, they don't just paint pictures of houses and rainbows. Instead, they create their own masterpieces using inspiration from artists like Monet, Picasso, and van Gogh. Through it all, Bear is always the voice of reason reminding Lola she is just a "little bit much." The predictable text structures and patterns of this story makes the text flow well for young readers. The pencil-and-watercolor illustrations add an additional whimsical effect to an already imaginative story. VERDICT Young readers will love this innovative protagonist and her fanciful ideas.—Jennifer Bludau, La Grange Independent School District, TX

Kenneth and Sarah Jane Wright live in Utah with their four uniquely intense children. In 2008 Sarah Jane opened a simple online shop that has since grown into a worldwide business with art prints, fabrics, wallpaper, puppets, and illustrated children's books. Kenneth is a full-time educator and history teacher. Together Kenneth and Sarah Jane share a ridiculous number of hobbies. On any given day at the Wright house you'll see treehouse building, pastry making, spontaneous musicals, and kids tucked into cozy nooks, reading stacks of books on EVERYTHING. This is their first picture book together.
