LUCY AND THE STRING

Vanessa Roeder

A sweet and silly tale of unexpected friendship between a girl and the bear she finds at the end of a string.
When Lucy spots a string, she can't help but give it a yank, and before she knows it, she meets Hank! But this bear isn't quite sure what to make of Lucy, especially because the string is attached to his pants, and they're unraveling fast!

Now Lucy must dream up the perfect solution to Hank's missing pants, and hopefully win this dubious bear's heart along the way.

Vanessa Roeder's picture book debut is a heart-filled tale of curiosity, innovation, and finding friendship in unexpected places.
In the vein of Flora and the Flamingo and Olivia: A simple palette and spare, lyrical text let Lucy's and Hank's big personalities shine, and their physicality delivers much of this book's heartwarming humor.


Vanessa Roeder is an author and illustrator whose work has been featured in Highlights magazine and on ApartmentTherapy.com. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and three kids.

Hilarious... This perfect blend of words and pictures is sure to have kids chuckling and perhaps trying their own string creations.

Pair this with Watkins' Pete with No Pants for some serious giggles.

An imaginative and entertaining tale of crafting and friendship.

This delightful tale of unlikely friendship, cooperation, unisex dressing, and spontaneous creativity begs to be reread and shared!

Pants are expendable, he discovers, as he accepts Lucy's striped skirt as a substitute, but friendship is forever.
