Lucky is an educational children’s book that gently awakens children to the plight of captive birds and birds captured in the wild. Based on a true story, Lucky tells the story of a parrot who is captured in the wild and eventually regains his freedom with the help of a young Indonesian boy.
Originally written in 2004, this much-awaited story is finally available to the public in this beautifully illustrated book, printed on recycled, chlorine-free paper to protect the environment and the world’s forests. What’s more, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this book benefits avian welfare, rescue, and conservation — to help birds like Lucky.
The story is also a natural fit for a wider educational curriculum including geography and culture of Indonesia, the natural history, behavior, and physical characteristics of parrots and tropical forest ecosystems, as well as real-life conservation efforts. The dedicated website www.LuckyTheLorikeet.com incorporates all these topics. In addition, children can meet the real Lucky in a narrated documentary video clip available on the website — truly a rare and inspiring opportunity!
