“Sharing snack time with a new friend is a real treat!”
Lucy & Company by Marianne Dubuc
Childhood is magical! I think that is partly because children are so full of curiosity and wonder and they take pleasure in the simplest things that can sometimes be taken for granted. This is a book that beautifully captures the simplicity and beauty of childhood and it’s everyday adventures. When I read it, it brings back memories of my own childhood and I cannot help but smile.
It is a picture book that includes three mini stories about Lucy and her friends. The first one is where they share a special snack and make new friend. In the second they go on a scavenger hunt and celebrate an important birthday. And the third is where they help find a home for some new little chicks. The text is short and sweet and each of these “stories” is more like a snapshot of a lovely memory. I adore this book in its perfect simplicity and charming illustrations. It is one that you can read over and over again! It comes out Fall 2016 from Kids Can Press.
