Lucky Me

Lora Rozler celebrates the concepts of luck and thanks as she explores the world with a series of evocative, one-line descriptions of situations where a child (or adult) might be inclined to thank one's lucky star -- for the ocean's calming lull a-dunk (Yiddish, pronounced a-dunk) ... for concerts in the kitchen mamnumam (Persian, pronounced mam-noon-am) ... for my sidekicks when I need them cam on (Vietnamese, pronounced gahm-uhn) ... for a mustache just like grandpa's salamat (Tagalog, pronounced sa-la-maht) ... for moving pictures in the sky ay ay (Cree, pronounced hay-hay). Lucky Me shares 36 of these celebrations, each exquisitely illustrated by Jan Dolby.
