Critics Review
*“Puller illuminates ways children can teach adults about using art to express their emotions and share their stories…. A must-read for starting conversations and opening up dialogue about trauma of any kind.”
–School Library Journal, starred review“The Lost Things Club speaks with great power of two of humanity’s greatest assets: the healing capacity of true empathy, the spacious reach of the imagination…. Writing such a page-turner is a gift.”
–Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor winner and National Book Award finalist“A sweet story about empathy, self-growth, friendship, and family that may inspire readers to seek more information about traumatic mutism.”
–School Library Connection“Sometimes children experience difficult things and can’t find the words to talk about them. We need stories like this to help them find their voice and for others to find compassion.”
