Lucy

Lucy is a stray. Each day she must search, desperately, for something to eat.

Eleanor is a little girl who would love to have Lucy for her own.

Eleanor's father is a juggler who is terrified to be on stage.

Lucy, Eleanor, and Eleanor's father all come together serendipitously and there is a happy ending for everyone.

It's a delightful too-short-to-be-a-chapter-book, too-long-to-be-a-picture-book story.
