Lucky Song
CCBC Review:
When little Evie woke up wearing her moon-and-stars PJs, she knew she wanted to do something, something new. She found a new hat on a hook, and her grandpa made her a small kite to fly. Evie's mother ran out to watch her, and her grandma had some supper ready after she came in from the adventure. Her sister wrapped Evie's own blanket around her. Her father sang a song was about his little Evie, her kite, and her day. Lucky Evie. She had everything any child needs most: a home, clothing and food. Most of all, she had loving family members to give her what every child also needs most: loving attention. Joyous expressionistic images in an emotionally rich circular story explicitly inviting readers to go back to the beginning. Because of the book's joy, affection and beauty, adults won't even mind hearing their children ask them to read it again. Winner, 1998 Charlotte Zolotow Award ©1997 Cooperative Children's Book Center
