The reason I want to write a review about La La La: A Story of Hope by Kate DiCamillo and illustrated by Jaime Kim is I am wondering how many words I can use to describe a book that has one word used multiple times, but still only adds up to a handful of words. That word? It is La. Sometimes this word is La La, or more than two la (like three or more). Sometimes it is a statement, sometimes a question, but it is always the answer. 
I read (for a lack of a better word) this book via an online reader’s copy. It is due in March 2027 in a board book format. I am excited to see how it will turn out as I can’t imagine this being in a small sized board book. The hardcover and paper editions might not be currently available, but I’m sure you can find it at your local library. When it comes out, I will be looking into getting a copy to make sure it will be okay for my (then) almost three year old niece.
I want to find a copy as I really want to share the illustrations that Kim created. The colors are fabulous. At first there is little to no color, but then a hint of a golden star-leaf happens. Then you bounce around, a few colors here and there, then a traditionally giant mess of beautiful and amazing colors just explodes onto the page. The night time scene is probably my favorite one as the purples, blues and a few other hues saturate the page and it is both cool, warm, relaxing and exciting all at the same time.
Probably best for the younger reader as it is basically a wordless book, but you can read the images with any age.
