Description

Bruno's friend Sanjay is lucky: he has his own room and a pet iguana. His brother Mateo is lucky too: he has a dog who helps him get around and he can read in the dark, even after their parents tell them to turn off the light. Bruno doesn't have his own room and he doesn't have a pet but maybe he is lucky for other reasons? In this heart-warming story, Bruno discovers that everyone has different strengths, abilities, and reasons to feel grateful.
