Books like Lucy by Randy Cecil
Lucy is a small dog who has never found a permanent home. She remembers a past life only in the quiet of her dreams. Eleanor, a friendly little girl, looks forward each day to feeding the stray dog that faithfully appears beneath her window.
Eleanor’s father, a juggler, battles stage fright, adding a gentle layer of family challenge to the narrative. In this picture book, three distinct perspectives—Lucy, Eleanor, and her father—interlace to create a charming, original story.
Beautifully illustrated, the book celebrates compassion, resilience, and the bonds that form when a child, a dog, and a family come together.
