A new book from award-winning illustrator Mariajo Ilustrajo, Lost
is the story of a polar bear who finds himself lost, in a big
concrete city. He politely asks the city folk for help but everyone
is much too busy and impatient to help the newcomer. He finds
himself travelling on the subway only to be noticed, finally by a
little girl. The girl takes the homesick bear by the paw and under
her innocent wing. Under the nose of her seemingly unaware mum, she
feeds him dinner, gives him a bath and they read stories together.
When the polar bear wistfully looks at a poster of the North Pole
on her bedroom wall, the little girl realises that her friend needs
help to get home. This is a story about the power friendship has to
help you feel found, and even to transport you home.
