The Lucky Star (Tales of Young Americans)

It is 1933 and the Great Depression has ravaged the nation. Millions of people are out of work; thousands of families are struggling to keep a roof overhead and food on the table. But Momma still finds ways to count her blessings (lucky stars) from Ruth’s new shoes to Poppa’s new job. But where Momma sees the ‘bright,’ Ruth only sees the dark. Her shoes are hand-me-downs from a neighbor and Poppa’s new job keeps him away from home for months. And now their town can’t afford to keep the school open. Ruth will not be going to fourth grade even though she’s one of the brightest students in her class. How can anyone find the good in that? But when Ruth stops thinking of her own problems and focuses on someone else’s, she realizes that being a lucky star is the best way to start seeing your own lucky stars.In addition to writing children’s books, Judy Young teaches poetry writing workshops for children and educators across the country.

Children's Books: LUCKY PENNIES  (Very Funny and Touching Bedtime Story/Picture Book, About Self-Esteem and Self-Worth, for Beginner Readers, with 20 Whimsical Illustrations, Ages 2-8)

When five pennies set out to find out how valuable they are they become discouraged as they are found to be nearly worthless by first a car salesman, then a juice bar operator and finally a taxi driver. Standing on a street curb and feeling quite dejected, they are surprised by a group of tourists who are delighted to discover “lucky pennies.” Each tourist appreciates the penny he or she finds, each for a special reason. The pennies, of course, realize now that they are worth far more than a penny’s worth.

Unlike the pennies in this story, who were not sure how valuable they were, every child should know that he or she is valuable and is important in the lives of others. Every child is priceless and is worth more than all the pennies in the world!

20 whimsical and colorful illustrations bounce along with the rhyme and will delight any child.
