This story is about Lucy, a little girl who loves to play outside do crafts and play make believe. Lucy and her lifelong companion Annabelle, a rag doll, have been on many adventures that have left Annabelle very patched up. Regardless of wear Lucy loves Annabelle unconditionally. One day Annabelle loses her head while the two are playing one of their favorite games. This story shares the ups and downs and adventures these two experience together. Determination, frustration, pride, and knowing when to ask for help are all present it this edgy, sometimes dark story about a little girl and her best friend.

This story has the potential to meet multiple audiences, with its deadpan humor, stand out illustrations and the adorable message of friendship and unconditional love. Social-emotional curriculum users will find this story useful beyond the “If You’re Happy and You Know It” mainstream teaching. Both Lucy and Annabelle display a wide range of facial expressions that can spark many conversations about feelings and emotions. Parents will find the message useful and the story entertaining. One reader stated “Children can relate to the story,” while another reader said, “This book inspires children to use their imagination.”
