This book was so helpful with explaining differences with each other, As a professional School Counselor it was easy to use and process allergies, not feeling like they fit in and be included! Love it!

This story had really cute illustrations but the story didn’t flow very well. Yes it’s meant to be simple but it should feel connected. It needed a few extra sentences to connect why So-Hee now had friends.

This was a very cute book!! The illustrations are very pretty and I love the pets that aren’t your typical ones! I also love that it came full circle at the end to show she wasn’t alone and she made a friend with a common interest - that could be called out a little more obviously!!

Kid review: I liked that one. I have a special pet too.
Mum review: this was a nice story about a little girl who starts off lonely, but gains a dear pet snake and a bit of a community. I thought it was nicely told and had good illustrations.

Very cute. Story is fun, funny, and engaging! Artwork is bright, colorful, and helps move the story. I would love to see further adventures with the snake. Maybe even a chapter book.

I am a 37 year old woman who is bawling her eyes out because So-Hee made a pet-friend, who helped her make human-friends.

This was so adorable! I especially loved the illustrations!

Everyone deserves a pet-friend and love!

This picture book tells a cute story about a little girl with allergies who finally finds the perfect pet... a snake! The book celebrates their bond and shows the snake as being a fun and special companion, and then the girl also makes friends with neighbors towards the end of the story. I felt that the story's ending was too rushed, but it's a very cute book overall.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! Animal lovers will love this book! A story about the adventures of a young girl and her pet snake. Anyone with a pet will certainly relate to this story!

S0-Hee is an only child and longs for a friend, especially a pet. However, she's allergic to almost everything! One day she meets, Lowy, a sweet little snake that seems like the perfect pet best friend.

This is such a cute little story and perfect for young readers. Lowy's face is also the cutest little snake face I've ever seen in my life. Lowy does get out at one point which can feel a little stressful, but it all works out in the end (even with new human friends!)

The illustrations are so cute! They feel fresh and classic at the same time.

So-Hee and Lowy, written by Anna Kang, is an adorable story about a girl with no siblings and very few friends. She always wanted a pet to hug, but the problem was that she was allergic to everything. One day, So-Hee finally gets her dream pet—a snake named Lowy. The story follows their life together and the small challenges they face. In the end, she even makes a few friends. Check out this book to find out how she overcame her challenges and made new friends.

I absolutely loved the illustrations in this book. They are super cute, and I’m sure kids will love them too. As a single child myself, I’ve always wanted a pet, but because of my mom's allergies, I was never able to have one. This story was very touching for me— As I could personally relate to So-Hee’s life and see myself in her.

Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with the ARC of this book.

This was an adorable read, with very cute art! So-Hee, a very allergic little girl, finds Lowy, the pet of her dreams and convinces her parents to adopt her. From then on, they become best friends and go on many adventures together.

I think this book is perfect for children with allergies who hope to find that special pet one day. It's also a great choice for children who simply love snakes!

“So-Hee and Lowy” is an adorable story about unlikely friendships and unusual pets. It’s perfect for young readers, with its charming illustrations and heartwarming focus on companionship. However, it reminded me of Allergic by Megan Wagner Lloyd, where a girl navigates her allergies to find the perfect pet. While So-Hee and Lowy is a bit more child-friendly and leans into the theme of friendship, it shares a similar narrative of finding connection in unexpected ways. Fans of stories about perseverance and unique bonds will enjoy this sweet tale.

A very allergic girl finds her best friend in the form of a ball python. This helps her find friends and neighbors. This is a book about gratitude and companionship.

Thank you so much to Two Lions and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

So-Hee has lots of allergies, she has no friends, no siblings and no pet. Until she finds Lowy a giant snake, who becomes her best friend and pet who she does everything with, until he disappears.

This was such a fun read, I really enjoyed this one. Little So-Hee was so lonely and found herself the perfect best friend though others around her were certainly scared of it. It was so sweet that she did everything with him and finally found a friend.

The illustrations were so adorable to look at seeing her playing with Lowy and seeing where he really was when he had disappeared. I really enjoyed spending time looking at all the pictures.

A very wonderful read about loneliness, and how a friend can arrive unexpectedly and in a manner you wouldn’t always think it would. A book I would recommend to young children it’s such a fun read, and unlike other books out there.

the cutest little graphic novel ever, i did start reading it for my netgalley ratio but the art, and the story was so cute im glad i picked it, the diverse characters and plot is actually very good and i think a lot of kids would love it

So-Hee is an only child who doesn't have siblings or friends, but does have major allergies. She desperately wants a furry pet despite this, and one day comes across a perfect new best friend: a snake named Lowy! So-Hee and Lowy do everything together, until one day Lowy goes missing. Will So-Hee find her? And will she make friends along the way?

The story is heartfelt (and a great way to destigmatize snakes/reptiles for children!) and the illustrations are so vibrant and engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a cute short story!! I love the diverse representation and the significance of having a pet! Absolutely adorable with the illustrations and a quick and easy read for kids!

I love the premise behind Anna Kang’s picture book, “So-Hee and Lowy,” and illustrator Christopher Weyant did a fantastic job of illustrating it. I’m sure that this book will resonate with a lot of children that don’t have siblings.

I received an ARC of “So-Hee and Lowy” by Anna Kang from NetGalley and Two Lions in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

This book is so sweet and a pure joy to read! The plot did a lot for this story - it was simple, clear, defined, and organized nicely. Readers can easily see that there is a beginning, middle, and end and it allows them to follow So-Hee on her journey with ease. As for the story and its premise, it was amazing! This book accurately illustrates the importance of selective friendship, and how it takes time, effort, and fate to find your true best friend. In this story, one thing leads to another, and these things lead to a beautiful happy ending.
Bravo!

What a lovely book about a girl with allergies as she finds and cares for her own pet. It's great to see not only diverse representations in the characters but also a pet who is not typical, a snake! Not only that, the snake is pictured and portrayed as a playful and loving companion instead of the typical fear often seen in books with snake characters. I love the found friendship in her neighbors at the end.

The illustrations in this book are lovely and engaging. Lots of little hidden characters and animals for little ones to point out.
