ABOUT THE BOOK

Coucou, Odie

Luc Makes a Friend

Sometimes, the best friendships arrive right at your door.

Luc is a quiet boy with a big heart—and a worry he can’t quite shake. While his sister makes friends with ease, Luc feels stuck on the outside, wondering if he’ll ever find a friend of his own. Day after day, he waits, hoping demain will be different.

Then one afternoon, a soft tckk tckkk at the door changes everything.

Odie, a cheerful little dog with sparkling eyes and a wagging tail, seems to understand Luc in a way no one else has—especially when Luc speaks the language of his family and his heart. As their bond grows, Luc learns that friendship doesn’t always begin with the right words, but with kindness, courage, and an open heart.

Blending English and French in a warm, accessible way, Coucou, Odie: Luc Makes a Friend is a tender story about belonging, empathy, and the unexpected joy of being truly seen. Perfect for young readers navigating shyness, change, and first friendships, this heartfelt tale reminds us that sometimes, the friend we’re waiting for is closer than we think.
