Descrição da editora
A charming story about things lost and found. Sometimes things are lost. A hair ribbon. A pencil. A dog on a leash. But when someone loses a thing, another person may find it, sometimes with surprising results. In this thoughtful and deceptively simple story, several things are lost, then each is found — not always by the person who lost it, but always by someone who can use it. A small story with a big life lesson. Kids (and their grownups!) will have a new way to think, and feel, about losing something.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Sometimes things are lost," this optimistic picture book's text opens, accompanied by an image of a brown-skinned child's dog bolting to chase a squirrel. But as the book progresses, it becomes clear that this is as much a tale of finding things as it is of losing them. In uncluttered scenes that employ a limited palette, visuals lead the reader on a believable series of domino-effect lost-and-found events unleashed by the canine's disappearance (the dog's person loses a ribbon that's plucked up by a bird, which is seen by a light-skinned child who drops their stuffie) until at last the story comes full circle. In clean pencil drawings and cool-toned acrylic gouache, Sookocheff thoughtfully explores the often invisible ways that communities can be linked—even the end pages emphasize interconnection with an aerial view of a cheerful park and its intersecting paths. Ages 3–6.
