THE GUARDIAN LEPRACLONE: "There once was a boy named Jack, who loved to pretend he was things he was not, in places he could only imagine..." So begins this charming story of a young boy's search for independence. With the help of his newly discovered friend--a wise, albeit somewhat confused, guardian lepraclone--Jack learns that running away from a problem is never the answer to it. THE LEGEND OF THE LEPRACLONE is the tale of a lonely wizard who clones herself so she can have a best friend. But she quickly discovers that the friend she had made to be just like herself, is still very different. Told in delightful verse, this unique & entertaining story will remind young & old alike that, even if we look the same, or act the same, or think the same, every one of us is different. Vividly illustrated & filled with warmth & humor, the lepraclone books are suitable for all ages, but will be especially appealing to children in grades pre-K to 3.
