Charlie and Lola

Charlie and Lola are fictional children created by the English writer and illustrator Lauren Child in 2000. They were introduced in a series of picture books and later adapted as animated television characters. Lola is an energetic, imaginative little girl; Charlie is a patient and kind older brother who is always willing to help his little sister Lola learn and grow.

The first "Charlie and Lola" book was I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato, published by Orchard Books in 2000. The U.S. edition was published in the same year by Candlewick Press, with the title: I Will Never NOT EVER Eat a Tomato. Charlie and Lola's parents, as well as their friends' parents, are often mentioned, but never seen.

For that first book in the series, Child won the 2000 Kate Greenaway Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book illustration by a British subject. For the 50th anniversary of the Medal (1955–2005) it was named one of the top ten winning works, selected by a 2007 panel to compose the ballot for a public election of the all-time favourite.

Various colouring books and a magazine are also available in the UK.

The "Charlie and Lola" books have been translated into Welsh under the name Cai a Lois and into many other languages.

Charlie is the imaginative and loyal older brother to Lola. He is 7 years old and has short blonde hair, just like Lola. Charlie is often asked to look after Lola, and he sometimes has to think of creative ways to keep her busy.

Lola is an imaginative, quirky 5 year old girl, the younger sister to Charlie; and the best friend to Lotta. She loves to play and is full of character. She always wears butterfly hair clips. She has black eyes and short blonde hair.

Marvin (In the TV Series, Charlie calls him 'Marv' for short) is Charlie's best friend. He has a younger brother named Morten and an older brother named Marty. Marvin also has a sausage dog called Sizzles and a pet mouse called Squeak. He is the same age as Charlie. He lives at level 3 in his flat like Charlie who also lives on level 3.
