Lucky

From the creator of "Marshall Armstrong Is New to Our School" comes a visually stunning, hilarious picture book that explores children's tendency to jump to the conclusions they want.

When Leo's mom announces that there will be a surprise at dinner, she unknowingly sets in motion a riotous chain of events. What could the surprise be? Leo and his brother are desperate to find out. Could it be a bike? A pool? A new car? Their imaginations run wild until they latch, with utter conviction, onto what surely must be the answer: an all-expenses-paid, two-week trip to Hawaii Perhaps not surprisingly, the brothers are soon proven wrong. But the ingenious way their family decides to cheer them up poignantly reminds us that, sometimes, embracing what you already have is enough to make you feel "lucky."
