Editorial Reviews
"Lucky Me shares 36 celebrations, each exquisitely illustrated by the distinctively joyous artwork of Jan Dolby. Lucky Me is an ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library picture book collections for children ages 4 to 8."
— Midwest Book Review
"The theme of Lucky Me is uplifting and reminds us to thank our lucky stars for all of the good things that this world has to offer. . . Jan Dolby's bright and animated illustrations are created in watercolour and pencil. The young character and her friends are represented with cheerful colours, humour, ethnic diversity and overflowing imagination.

"Jan Dolby illustrates each page in watercolour hues, conjuring a cast of diverse children intent on the activities of each new day. She splashes colour across the page, creating a celebratory atmosphere dotted with quiet moments of wonder. . . Learning how to say thank you in 32 different languages is likely to open up a world of questions — get ready to appreciate the curiosity of small children!"
