The Luckiest Kid on the Planet
by Lisa Campbell Ernst
This picture book is a great and warm story about a child who believes his name is Lucky. The story moves on to give the reader a message to believe in yourself and that you are the one who can control your feelings. The illustrations are done in bright colors that also help to tell the story. When Lucky is happy the images are quirky, fun, and exciting, and when lucky is mad the pages are drab and dull to convey the message. This book may also appeal to a child who has a strong connection with a grandparent because Lucky finds himself realizing the importance of his own relationship with his grandpa. This book also does a great job working with a touchy subject when Lucky's grandpa is suddenly admitted into the hospital. Campbell Ernst does a great job setting the sad scene and looking for the good in it in a way that will not scare the young reader.
Intended age 3-7
