Book Review

Lucy
by Randy Cecil

by Kim Gruschow, Jul 2016

Lucy is a handsome book that occupies a space between picture book and novel with lovely, soft duotone illustrations.

Set in a quaint little town, this book chronicles the daily routines of a scrappy, energetic homeless pup; the kind young girl who sneaks her breakfast sausage to the dog; and her father, a skilled but erratic juggler. The moments when their stories unite become catalysts for a warm and fulfilling ending.

It’s a lovely book to read with children who are moving away from picture books or for independent readers aged 6–9 years.
