Lucky G and the Melancholy Quokka Review
Even the happiest creature on Earth can get the sads! Lucky G makes a trip down under to help out a struggling quokka. Join them on their journey to better mental health.
Lucky G is a big bird on a big mission: To help kids cope with their mental and physical challenges.
My cousins Summer and Natalie read Lucky G’s journey and shared their thoughts:
We loved the book! It’s an easy read and it really tells you who to go to when you have sad feelings. Natalie and I agreed that this book really shows you who to look for when you feel sad. I personally loved that it lets the reader know that your feelings are real and that with hard work and good friends the feelings aren’t forever.-Summer and Natalie
Raves for the Raven Who is a Therapist
This book grabs you from the outset and takes you on a hopeful journey: A colorful, spunky raven (with a Ph.D.) travels to Australia to meet a quokka who has lost his true smile, finds it hard to move and isn’t hanging out with friends anymore. Dr. G knows that depression is the culprit, and extends a listening ear and helping hand, all the while reassuring the quokka that lots of adults and kids feel depression, too!
The illustrations are colorful and whimsical, and the fact that Amy takes us on a journey to Australia provides the novelty that keeps the book captivating and moving right along. I truly enjoyed reading this and I believe children with depression, and their parents, will find acknowledgment, guidance and hope in this little book. Enjoyable, informative and capable of capturing a child’s imagination. ~ Eliana Gil, Ph.D., Founder, Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery & Education, Fairfax, VA
In her latest Lucky G book installment, Wilinski-Lyman makes the concept of play therapy accessible to children and parents. Speaking from experience, and from the heart, she presents therapy as a helpful tool for kids and fights stigma against depression. Her characters are easy to relate to for children and families alike. The vivid and expressive illustrations by Leela Green make this book a visual treat for all ages. ~ Marta Manning, former president NAMI Midland, MI chapter (National Alliance on Mental Illness)
I liked the whole story. Blue was my favorite character–I would be friends with him. I liked how Blue was sad at the start and then was happy by the end. ~ Astor, 7 years old
