Lucky Song by Vera B.
Williams
Greenwilliow Books
The 1998 Charlotte Zolotow Award Winner
Evie is about to have a great day. She wants to do something and, after getting dressed, that something turns out to be flying a kite,
with help from grandpa. It flies into the wind and Evie sees how high it can
fly. Her mother looks admires the kite. The day progresses back at home where grandma
has supper ready. Sister welcomes her home with a warm hug and her father makes
the day complete by singing her a song about everything she’s done.
This is a great family time book that is like comfort food.
Not every day is a perfect day where everything goes right, but there are some
of those days, and this book celebrates one of those. The father’s song
recaptures the experience from the beginning. Isn't it great fun to remember such a
day, and to know that some stories are ones that comfort and make us happy.
