Billy and his family prepare to celebrate March 25th, an important day in world history. To commemorate this date, Billy must wear a traditional Greek costume consisting of a funny red hat, puffy pom-pom shoes and a short, pleated white skirt. He does not want to be seen in public with this strange uniform. But when his father explains the history behind the outfit, as well as the significant historical events of March 25, Billy proudly marches in his city's Greek Independence Day parade to celebrate his heritage. The Lucky Day is the third title in the beloved "Lucky Book Series" by Greek-American author Anna Prokos. Published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Greek Independence Day, The Lucky Day tells the historic, religious and cultural story behind March 25, 1861, the date Greeks fought the Ottoman Empire to win back their freedom, independence and religious rights. The Lucky Day is reflective of March 25th events celebrated by Greeks and Hellenic friends around the world, so that children can learn about and share their unique heritage.
