Book Description:

Looking for a Leprechaun is the story of a boy named Rich who lives in a magical world, but everywhere he turns he hears people saying he doesn’t belong. When a fairy tells him if he finds a Leprechaun it will help him find where he belongs, Rich sets out on an adventure. The search for a leprechaun is difficult. Close to giving up, Rich hears some words of wisdom. Will he be able to find what he is searching for? What if it’s been inside him all along?

Young children and their parents will be amazed by the positive story and exquisite illustrations of this Mom’s Choice Awards Gold recipient. Looking for a Leprechaun has been named among the best in family-friendly media, products and services.

While this is a children’s book, I found the message it delivered useful for me as well.

Rich may live in a magical kingdom but he feels he doesn’t belong. That’s what he hears others saying. Then he meets a fairy who suggests if he can find a leprechaun he can also find where he belongs. So off he goes, meeting many beautiful creatures but always hearing the same thing. He doesn’t belong. Where is the leprechaun? Will he ever find out where he belongs?

What a fun story that also shows children it’s okay to be different. To as they say, stop and smell the flowers, you never know what you may learn. I was very insecure as a young girl and worried what others thought of me. Heard only the bad things. It took me being much older to hear the good and ignore the negative. This book can be a teaching tool as much as a fun adventure. And the illustrations are bold and so colorful. Truly a delight to look at.
