Unwrapping Some Wonderful Illustrations for You to Enjoy
The Book
Lucy loves Lou, her stuffed toy giraffe. They are inseparable. They are lucky enough to go on a memorable cruise with the whole family but the most vivid memory that she brings back shatters her world. While enjoying the scenic view from the deck a big gust of wind blows Lou right from her hands and he plunges down into the bottomless ocean and is irretrievable. Lucy now has to navigate life now without her BFF but can she do it? Luckily she has strong family and friend support to help her manage her emotions and lead her out of her despair.
This book shines a light on emotions that are unveiled when a loved one (close friend, family member, pet etc.) are no longer with you. The author addresses the subjects of loss and grief in a way that will spark conversations and give understanding of what took place and how you can cope with that emptiness inside your heart.
The topic of loss is very sad indeed. The author offers hope at the end of the book by including a happy ending. Losing something or someone you cherish from your physical world is extremely heartbreaking but kids will discover that those gone forever can still be kept alive in their hearts by the treasured memories cultivated while they were there with you.
The illustrations are very well done and they enrich the text greatly. The book is written in rhyme which I discovered half way through the book. I recommend "Lost" and ask you to check out the other books in the Dreambuilt Kids Series. ( This is Book 7 )
