GLOBAL CITIZEN.org -- "It's a story that will hopefully resonate with anyone who is discriminated against." Jason Flom, CEO of Lava Records and Lava Music Publishing, and former Chairman and CEO at Atlantic Records, is trying to introduce children to themes of inclusivity, individuality, and tolerance of those who don't conform to social norms. His children's book Lulu is a Rhinoceros, written with his daughter Allison Flom, explores these themes through the story of Lulu, a bulldog who identifies as a rhinoceros. Throughout the book, Lulu fights for recognition and eventually finds it in the smallest of characters. For both children and their parents, Lulu's story shows the importance of diversity, and could inspire the next generation of youth to believe in their own identity as changemakers who can build a more inclusive world.

You can be whatever you want to be, even when other people can't see it themselves. You are the master of your domain. Just ask Lulu!”- Michael Strahan, Co-host of ABC's Good Morning America“Lulu may very well be my spirit animal.” - Moby, Musician and animal rights activist “Anyone who roots for the underdog should read this book! Lulu is a bulldog who believes in herself, and I believe in her too.”- Cesar Millan, Dog Behavioralist and star of the hit TV series The Dog Whisperer"No creature on our planet is more deserving of our compassion and action than the critically endangered rhinoceros, who is being helped through each and every purchase of this special story. Thank you, Lulu!"
