Missing Things Catherine S Snodgrass

Missing Things introduces the reader to an inspiring cast of six different characters who suddenly discover that their treasured belongings have gone missing. Ultimately, we get to see how they cleverly adapt and quickly learn that all material things are replaceable. "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade" is symbolically represented by the very first character, a lemonade-sipping moose. The bold character art was created using paper cut-outs, a collage style made famous by Matisse who called it "drawing with scissors."This book is a wonderful teaching tool for those who have difficulty coping when their things mysteriously go missing.
