Lucky

About the Book

LUCKY IS ABOUT A SQUIRREL WHOSE SURVIVAL WAS QUESTIONABLE. THE TREE, WHERE HIS MOTHER, BROTHER AND HE LIVED, WAS DESTROYED BY A STORM. THE TREE WAS UPROOTED AND THE FAMILY THAT CUT IT UP RESCUED HIM. WITH ITS HAPPY ENDING, THE STORY OF LUCKY IS ABOUT THE CLOSE RELATIONSHIP THAT CAN DEVELOP BETWEEN HUMANS AND AN ANIMAL FROM THE WILD. ALTHOUGH IT IS A TRUE STORY, IT IS BOTH EMOTIONAL AND INSPIRATIONAL FOR THE AUTHOR WHO RAISED LUCKY, AND HOPEFULLY FOR ALL THOSE WHO READ IT.
