Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the 'what ifs' of family stability, especially following a loss or a change in guardianship. Ten-year-old Lucky lives in a tiny desert town and is haunted by the fear that her French guardian, Brigitte, might leave her behind. It is a deeply resonant story for children who feel different or who worry about being a burden. Through Lucky's scientific curiosity and her search for a 'Higher Power' (inspired by local 12-step meetings), the book explores themes of abandonment, grief, and the true meaning of belonging. It is a gentle yet honest look at how kids process adult-sized anxieties, ultimately offering a hopeful resolution about chosen family and permanent homes.
