Description: A lost child.

Who hasn't experienced being lost? Separated from parents in a crowd, wandering away from home, frightened in a new strange place...being lost, the fear of being apart from you loved ones is an experience central to childhood.

Children's fears of not being found can be met with hugs, a warm lap, a kiss, enveloping arms and reassurance from their parents who will always say: "I promise I'll find you."

In eleven warm and simple verses, Heather Patricia Ward delivers that reassurance in tones that are fun for kids and moving for grownups.
