Born into a world of endless skies, natural wonders, and friends waiting to be found, a mayfly, with only a single day to live, flies high into the beauty of it all. But when he sees all the other mayflies pairing off, he wonders if he will have to spend his day alone. Could it be that he just needs to fly a little higher to meet his match With lush illustrations and a story that sings, How Lucky Am I encourages all to appreciate the beauty of everyday life and those we share it with.
"Married collaborators the Hoyings draw inspiration from the mayfly's 24-hour lifespan in this book-length ode to living life to the fullest." - Publishers Weekly
"A super-sweet tale of living in the moment." - Kirkus
