A gorgeously whimsical picture book with a light hearted but poignant moral tale. Lena is forever losing things and finds herself at the Lost and Found most days! One day she helps another little girl to find her lost blue hat and ends up making a new friend in the process. A feel good story with a strong female character at the helm.
