Project "Dream, Believe and DO!"

Our Mission: At Lulu's Foundation, we understand that every child is programmed at home, in education and in the media. Why not use all of these forces to create positive, inpsiring and empowering tools that a child will use for a lifetime? We are partnering powerful creative forces with inner city public school systems to empower children to "Create the world the way they dream it to be!" We believe that the missing link in education is creativity and project based learning.

With our media partner, Fablevision we are harnessing Lulu's postivie energy and amazing view of life to create powerful media tools that encourage every child to unleash the power within! We inspire grown-ups too!!!

100% of the proceeds of the sales of Lulu's books go to her foundation and our project!

Lulu's message.... "Dream, Believe and Do!" "I am the rainbow and so are you!"

"Gretchen is one of those rare inspiring soles that you might have the honor to meet once in your lifetime. Despite a horrific tragedy, she is one of the most grounded, caring, committed people that I have had the pleasure of getting to know. She has turned a life altering event into a mission and a program – "Dream, Believe and Do!"– that helps people see the value in life and to reach for their rainbow! Go Gretchen!"

About us: Lulu Belle Books is on a mission to make the world a more beautiful place by spreading Lulu's messages of love, hope and happiness. We believe that children have important things to say and if we slow down long enough to really listen, we will learn what is most important in life; to savor each moment, cherish time spent with loved ones: dare to look at the world through the eyes of your child because spending time with your child and seeing the world with their beautiful vision is the best gift you can receive or give!

To everyone who has sent us an email, bought a book, stood in line at our book signings or simply read about the Pyne family and shared kind words: A big "Thank You" goes out to each and everyone of you. We want to express our gratitude for sharing your stories with us and letting us know how Lulu has changed your life for the better. We believe Lulu lives on in all people when they share her rose colored vision. Words can’t express what this has meant to the Pyne family. Olivia Lynn “Lulu” Pyne shines on in every smile.
