Licky the Lizard is one nice lizard, and just like you and me, he’s one of God’s own creations. Unfortunately, we sometimes forget that we’re really all the same—because He created everything in our world. We feel afraid because of our differences.
What happens when Licky the Lizard comes face to face with a lady who’s going in and out of her house? When the lady sees Licky, he causes her quite a fright! But guess what? Licky is also scared. Of her. They’re scared of each other! Then Licky and the lady remember that there is no need to be afraid. They were both created by God, and that’s what makes them very special.
In Licky The Lizard, author Melissa Henderson offers parents, grandparents, and educators a tale that teaches young children a simple, yet important message: There is no need to fear any of God’s creatures because we are all created by Him—and He loves us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A short story that kept her attention and we loved it!
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019
My granddaughter was so excited to get to read this book. She had just went to a nature preserve story hour where they talked about frogs and other pond creatures. She was even able to pet one. Some of the children said no to petting one so she totally understood how someone could be afraid. She laughed when she realized how afraid both the human and the lizard were the story.

We loved the illustrations that made the story come to life. The long tongue of the lizard totally amazed both of us. Then the lady's hair standing on end cracked us up.

A short story that kept her attention and we loved it! A great reminder that no matter how different you are to someone else God loves you. This would be a great Easter storybook.

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple message to teach the heart of your child how we are all special
Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2019

You know how sometimes you just need a quick bedtime story instead of reading that really thick book that takes forever to get a message across? Not that there is anything wrong with that! I love to write and my messages get lengthy, but sometimes Mommy needs a break. Licky the Lizard by Melissa Henderson provides just that. A simple message to teach the heart of your child about how we are all uniquely and wonderfully made. That we need not fear our differences because God created all of us special, even small lizards that might seem scary at first. I also have to mention the illustrations in this book---they are really vibrant and well done; it will keep the attention of your little one(s) while you read it. It’s a win win. And if your little one is afraid of lizards, this book just might help them think of these little creatures a bit differently now. All four of my children, ages 5 to 8 gave it a thumbs up.
