Bigfoot Makes an Appearance in Latest ‘Ladybug’ Adventure
Los Angeles, Calif., November 3, 2022 — Moving is never easy, but imagine running into a mythical creature in your new backyard! In the new children’s adventure, Hillary and Bigfoot, Hillary the Little Ladybug moves with her family to a new city. After making Ladybug City her new home, Hillary gets a visit from none other than Bigfoot.
Co-authored by William Dandurand, Elisabeth Revel and Mary Cohen, The Adventures of Hillary the Little Ladybug series explores climate change and other topics through stories aimed at young readers.
In the latest story, Hillary sees Bigfoot on her very first night in her new home. She soon discovers that the Bigfoot tribe is struggling with a lack of food. Their solution to this problem is rummaging through the trash and even breaking into homes to steal food.
Things seem to get worse before they get better, with Hillary’s new friend Tiny Tim disappearing. Now Hillary must figure out what to do before it’s too late.
The series features original illustrations, photography and playfully educational storylines to tell adventurous children’s tales from the perspective of a precocious ladybug.
A team of authors and illustrators have collaborated on this 17-book series, including Mary Cohen, Elisabeth Revel, Gary Revel, Naomi Kiber and William Dandurand, whose grandfather, Ray Lowe, worked for Disney. All proceeds from sales of the “Ladybug” books benefit Mother Nature Festival Live Inc., which endeavors to stop harmful climate change.
In previous episodes of the Hillary the Ladybug saga, our heroine has solved the mystery of the secret cave, found herself in a post-nuclear world, joined the crew on a submarine, faced giant sharks, encountered a haunted castle, met the King of England, learned a valuable life lesson from a praying mantis, dealt with a family vacation gone wrong, and in this new book, learns about food scarcity from the infamous Bigfoot tribe.
The original illustration of Hillary the Little Ladybug was created by American-born Gary Revel Jr., a 2006 Finnish Star Winner who lived in Finland for 16 years. Revel Jr. has received acclaim for his singing, dancing and acting in Finland and Hollywood, California.
