Lucas fell, and now he lives with a disability. A Level G story about resilience that first graders can read on their own.

Lucas is a happy lion. One day Lucas Falls. Can Lucas be happy again?

When Lucas falls off a ladder, he hurts his spine and can't use his legs anymore. He can't stand on them and he can't walk on them. Through self-determination and with the love of friends and family, Lucas learns new ways to take care of himself and have fun.

With easy-to-read language and cheerful art, children can learn about physical disabilities while they grow their confidence as readers.

This book has been officially leveled by using the Fountas & Pinnell Text Level GradientTM leveling system.

For early-to-mid first grade readers, Level G books feature more complex storylines than prior levels, and a wider variety of structure and punctuation. Illustrations offer support for decoding the more challenging vocabulary words introduced.

The award-winning I Like to Read series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors-create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
