GIVEAWAY: Lulu & Rocky In Detroit

We LOVE books that our littles can relate to, so when we discovered Barbara Joosse’s Lulu & Rocky In Detroit we couldn’t wait to get our hands on it. The two cousins take a road trip to the Motor City to discover Detroit and visit our favorite landmarks along the way. Experience downtown like Lulu & Rocky or plan your own adventure in Detroit, take a picture on your trip and send it to us @littleguidedetroit (or upload it below) for a chance to win a copy of the book.
Grab a bite to eat
Enjoy brunch at a former firehouse, the beautiful (and family-friendly) Foundation Hotel, grab coneys at American and Lafayette and eat them in Campus Martius Park or go to Eastern Market to find farm fresh food to bring home for a meal.
