Why is ZoZo Bunny crying all alone in the corner? That's what curious and caring Pudgy the Penguin wants to know.
When ZoZo goes to school or any place where she's away from her mom, she feels nervous and scared. She has separation anxiety and doesn't know how to make herself feel safe or more secure.
Fortunately for ZoZo, Pudgy is there to offer comfort, reassurance, and some of his very special Lucky Buttons!
Pudgy's bag is bursting with buttons of every shape, size, and color: huge ones and tiny ones; square ones and oval ones; silver and gold ones; and green and blue ones. But these are no ordinary buttons. Each one holds a bit of magic and a special meaning.
There are buttons to remind ZoZo to say, Please, and buttons to remind her to say, Excuse me. There are buttons to help her be patient, and buttons to help her play fair. Best of all, there is a lucky button that, when squeezed tight, will reassure ZoZo that her loved ones are always close to her heart.
Will the encouragement of a friend and the comfort of a button be enough to help ZoZo realize she can be brave, courageous, and kind even when she's off on her own?
The Lucky Button is a sweet and touching tale about finding a sense of security and connection during times of transition and separation. It also teaches young learners about colors, shapes, and numbers. A special page with tips to help little ones struggling with separation anxiety, especially at school, is included for parents and educators.
