Child's compassion amidst adult indifference.

"Lost Thing" paints a poignant picture that resonates deeply with anyone who's felt a bit out of place or has dared to care for something overlooked by the rest. The bizarre creature becomes a mirror into our own experiences with isolation and apathy, while the boy's quest is a refreshing reminder of the simplicity of childhood empathy. It's a subtle nudge to not lose our inherent kindness in the hustle of life, which makes the book a touching read.

Description

A kid finds a lost 'thing' on the beach where he's scavenging for his bottle top collection. The thing is a large, freakish creature, but no one else really notices it; it's simply not a part of their familiar day-to-day reality. So the kid takes it upon himself to try to find where the lost thing belongs.
