Books with title My Friend Lucy

Here's an offbeat story about a catboy who's best friend is a sunflower named Fred. When Fred and his buddy pass by a skeptical skateboarding cat-kid, he asks sneering questions about Fred and the duo's friendship. After a near miss with wilting heat and a fun, rain-soaked flower dance, the former skeptic decides that his new friends aren't so weird after all . . . at least no weirder than he is! This charming addition to the Balloon Toons series offers a canny portrait of how kids project personalities and feelings onto toys and other objects, and conveys the satisfaction felt when making an unexpected friend.

An endearing, unforgettable story that helps children realize you don't have to be exactly alike to be best friends."In some ways we're different. I'm big and Moe's little. I can hula hoop. He just stands in the middle." So begins this charming book, filled with endearing illustrations and funny text, about two very different characters. A guinea pig and his friend, Moe, have lots of traits that make them stand out. Most of the time, they aren't alike at all, but it's those differences that make them such great friends. Children will love seeing that true friends can be delighted by people who aren't just like them... except in all the ways that really matter.

Friendship ― to be known, to be accepted as you are, to feel safe, especially when you are vulnerable. The girl in this story has recently arrived in Brooklyn with her family. On her very first day at school she meets a girl who almost instantly becomes her very best friend. She feels known, loved and accepted by her. But when she invites her friend to come for dinner with her family ― a family that feels free to eat weird food and, even worse, burst into song with their version of a sentimental classic of longing and homesickness ― something shifts and she no longer feels safe at all. What will it be like tomorrow at school?Award-winning illustrator Alfonso Ruano’s art beautifully depicts the depth of feeling that the friends experience in this story from acclaimed author and translator Elisa Amado, about how difficult it is to come from somewhere else and what a difference friendship can make.

This is a short story about the love between a young girl and her horse. I found the manuscript of the book in my deceased fathers file cabinet. I had wrote this story as a young lonely girl. A tough time for me as I had an unhappy family life. My little horse was my best friend and savior. My father had kept the manuscript for over 40 years. I know he was proud of it and it helped him to understand my love of this horse.
