Luke Goes to London

Reach for this book when your child is feeling overwhelmed by a move, a change in family dynamics, or the daunting scale of the 'big world.' It is an ideal choice for a child who needs to see that while life can be scary and unpredictable, there are always kind souls ready to help those who stay true to their mission. This Victorian animal adventure follows Luke, a small squirrel who leaves his comfort zone to find a long lost sister.
