Lucky Cat is a heartwarming story about an immigrant family in America, and a new friend their daughter June makes as they prepare to open their restaurant.
June's family has a new home in America. There’s plenty to do before their restaurant opens, but Mama is excited when she finds the previous owners have left a Lucky Cat! It’s meant to bring good luck to their ventures, and June is even more excited the next evening when she finds that the statue can come to life.
But unfortunately, Lucky Cat doesn’t seem that lucky. He has the best intentions but he knocks over the vinegar bottle, rips holes in people’s clothing and sneezes on all the customers. Luckily, June learns that real luck is earned through hard work and perseverance as the family embark on a new venture, close to their hearts.
This beautiful book, authored by the hosts of the hugely popular AsianBossGirl podcast and packed with lively, characterful illustrations from the exceptionally talented Eunice Chen tells a funny and uplifting tale of family love and fitting in in a new country.

What people are saying…
“This sweet story of an immigrant family shows the trials, failures, and challenges of moving to a new country while also highlighting culture, family and tradition as the means to build foundation in a new place. The magic of a family turning toward their roots to make their way will light up your hearts and help readers find the lucky cats in their lives!” -Joanna Ho, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of many books for kids, including Eyes that Kiss in the Corners.
“I pre-ordered this book for my two year old son based on the ABG authorship. The story is great, emphasizing family and perseverance. The illustrations are also great, with expressive, colorful, and cheerful visuals in large sizes (the book is physically larger than most children's books.) My son has taken to reading the book silently by himself, or at least looking at the pictures quietly and very intently for several minutes at a time. So I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to any parent with young kids!” -Derek, Amazon (5.0 out of 5 stars, Heartwarming story and great pictures)
“Lucky Cat is a moving, relatable, and easy-to-follow story about an immigrant family’s new life in America and the lucky cat statue who helps them. I love Eunice Chen’s lively and colourful illustrations as well as the AsianBossGirl authors’ timeless messages about hope, perseverance, and family.” -Rebecca R, Amazon (5 out of 5 stars)
My child asked me to reread this not just once, but TWICE. I had to hand off the third reading to my husband, to get some alone time. If my kid asks for a repeat reading, I always bump a book up a star, but I was going to give this 5 stars even before that! -Dione Basseri, Amazon (5 out of 5 stars)
