About the Book
Lukas had always wanted to be as tall as his uncle Jonas. From the time he could first handle a ball, he practised every day. Follow Lukas as he struggles to prove himself to his team and family.
Book Synopsis
Lucky Lukas / Laimingas Lukas was written to encourage children to persist in striving to attain their goals, whether in a sport or in their studies. Like our first book Laima's Lunch / Laimos Pietūs, it is presented in two languages, English & Lithuanian, for families who want their children to learn Lithuanian. Reading this story with your children will give them an opportunity to discuss their aspirations and to explore the situations raised in the back section. A child's participation in team sports encourages healthy development and socialisation, bringing a family together in the endeavours and rewards all sports can bring.
Review Quotes
By writing Lucky Lukas / Laimingas Lukas in English and Lithuanian, Jura Reilly encourages young readers to participate in basketball and to retain their Lithuanian heritage. We give great credit to this children's book, beautifully illustrated by Ted Reilly, for encouraging these aspirations.
