In the story, parents can play the role of the Princess LuLuQ, an alien visiting planet Earth for the first time. Timid and curious, Princess LuLuQ must explore the strange world around her in a way that is similar to how a child might experience his or her surroundings for the first time. Through this story, children are encouraged to express their emotions and ideas about the world and the society we live in, and in doing so learn how to treat themselves and others in a positive way, as well as how to understand and master their own circumstances.
The princess will encounter friends from different ethnic cultures along the way, inspiring children to develop a curiosity for new experiences and encouraging exploration, creativity, confidence, and empathy.
