Ella feels like she is stuck in a pile of gloomy mud. She misses her mom so much. So, Ella embarks on a quest to find happiness again; wishing upon a star, trying to cook it up in a magic potion, and searching for it in all the places her grieving young heart leads her. And bit by bit...Ella begins to find solace in memories of her Mom. Something Lost Something Found is a story for young readers about the profound bonds we share with our loved ones, the importance of childhood memories, and the innate yearning to endure even the most indescribable grief.
Loss is real, especially in the face of the cancer epidemic. The youngest members of our society frequently experience feelings of confusion, misplaced anger, anxiety and feelings of general uncertainty about life after losing a loved one. Our children often require long-term coping strategies to help them move forward, not past grief, but to move forward with it. Something Lost Something Found aims to help families with children affected by loss, navigate through the long-term complexities of grief, by bringing childhood memories into focus.
