Lulu does not mind having a broken leg while she is the center of attention, but after the newness wears off, it takes a visit from Grandpa and a well-timed letter to set things right.

Description

This picture book about a child with a broken leg explores the role of courage and patience in the healing process—both inside and out.

Out on a Limb follows Lulu, whose leg is broken, but she's OK. Bonnie Bear has a matching yellow cast. Lulu's sympathy trove includes new books, sweet cards, and pretty daisies. She discovers new ways to do ordinary things—such as taking a bath or wearing her favourite pants.

As time passes, the novelty of the cast fades, and weariness sets in. Lulu becomes bored and grumpy by day, and her cast becomes itchy and twitchy at night. Eventually, it's time to remove the cast, but Lulu's not ready. She worries about whether her leg can do everything it used to and whether it might break again. A visit from Grandpa, a well-timed letter, and the power of healing help get Lulu back on her feet.
