Beautiful and whimsical submitted by sara.samuel on July 13, 2023, 9:13pm This is not my usual book. I happened to see it displayed at the Traverwood branch and was immediately attracted by the cover - a very unique and unexpected sighting with a large one-eyed owl-like creature next to a smiling girl. I picked it up and began looking through it, skimming the introduction. "The Lost Thing" was mentioned in the introduction and that immediately sparked a memory of an animated short film that I had seen a long time ago, but which I really liked. Sure enough, the author was a creator of that short film and I checked the book out to read. The book is beautiful - full of whimsical images of strange creatures, but also includes short written pieces where the author reflects on the types characters he produces - lost things, creatures, myths, and birds.

The short film is available on Youtube if you want to check it out! https://youtu.be/ILUxUrjjpyg
