The Lucky Day

Published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Greek Revolution of 1821, The Lucky Day is reflective of annual events celebrated by Greeks and Hellenic friends around the world. The Lucky Day tells the historic significance about Greek Independence Day, as well as the religious and cultural traditions celebrated on March 25. In this third title in the beloved Lucky Book Series, Billy and his family celebrate Greek Independence Day by eating traditional foods, rehearsing poems and songs, marching in a parade, and wearing special costumes. To honor the historic day, Billy must wear a costume that includes a funny red hat, puffy pom-pom shoes and a short, pleated skirt. He does not want to be seen in public like this, but when his father explains the history behind the 25th of March, Billy realizes just how lucky he is to celebrate this special day
