Don't Look, Lucy!

About the Book

I wrote this book after a nasty incident of discrimination when my daughter was three. She is nineteen now. I want to put this book in the public domain as a child-friendly approach to the dos and don'ts of interacting with people with differences. This book explores how my daughter would feel after a shopping trip when she is perceived with positivity and then negativity. I've read so many delightful children's books to pupils over the years. I wanted to capture a message and a memory in mine.
