A Young Ladybug Must Find Her True Self and Purpose in this Delightful New Children's Book

Denver, CO, and Franklin Park, NJ (PRWEB) December 3, 2007 -- Lila, a young ladybug, faces the difficulties of growing up and finding her own identity as she seeks friendship and acceptance among the other forest creatures. Written and illustrated by the dynamic and talented husband-wife team of Boazu and Balestrieri, Lila's Quest is sure to please.

Lila the Ladybug doesn't know who her friends are, or what she's supposed to do with her life, and so she sets out on a journey to find purpose and meaning in Lila's Quest.

Authors Boazu and Balestrieri show that every little being -- no matter how small and insignificant he or she may seem to be -- has a role and a purpose on earth. Lila's Quest is about teaching children real values, which are not based on outward beauty, as the arrogant butterfly believes; or being rich, as the industrious ant accumulating goods feels; or being physically strong, as the bear proudly demonstrates; but on the purity of heart and mind.

Lila's Quest will have children wondering until the very end: What will Lila become?
