Reviews"Gorgeous artwork from Kate Greenaway Medal nominee Turnbull uses soft pastels to show the young fox and bird forging their friendship. Children will delight in exploring and identifying the detailed "lost things" and contrasting them with the abundant beauty of the growing plants in this dreamy fable." --Booklist * "Turnbull's beautiful pictures are worth the proverbial thousand words... A valuable ecological message, deftly delivered. Incandescent." --Kirkus, STARRED review * "As an artist, Turnbull (The Sea Tiger) has two crucial gifts: the power of imagination and the ability to make emotions visible." --Publishers Weekly, STARRED review, "Though she may have inherited a dreary world, Pandora's attempts to revitalize it will inspire readers who may be discouraged with humankind's negative effect on the planet. Bound to generate discussion among adults and children alike, this quietly stirring offering can be read on multiple levels: as a love letter to friendship, a warning against careless treatment of the environment, or as a testament to the power of hope." --SLJ, starred review "Turnbull's beautiful pictures are worth the proverbial thousand words...
