Susan Cain is an American writer and speaker best known for Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, the bestselling nonfiction book that helped launch the Quiet Movement. Her work often explores introversion, sensitivity, longing, and emotional depth, with books for both adults and younger readers, including Quiet Power. She also wrote Bittersweet and the picture book Lucky & Norman: Saying Goodbye Is Bittersweet, extending her interest in bittersweet emotions into a family-oriented story for children.
Sam and Eli are ready to make two new friends on their farm vacation: Lucky and Norman, the donkeys who live just beyond the fence. The boys bring treats, offer games, and wait with hopeful hearts, but the donkeys are shy. Friendship, they discover, cannot be rushed.
As the days pass, Sam and Eli learn to be gentle, patient, and quietly curious. When Lucky and Norman finally come close, the vacation becomes something unforgettable: sunny days, soft donkey noses, and the joy of being trusted by an animal.
Warm and tender, Lucky & Norman is a picture book about brothers, animals, new friendship, and the mixed-up feelings that come when it is time to say goodbye to something you love.
