The Day We Got Lost

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling anxious about new situations or has expressed a fear of getting lost. The Day We Got Lost follows siblings Lark and Cricket, who wander too far from home and must rely on each other and their senses to find their way back as darkness falls. This gentle adventure beautifully explores feelings of fear and uncertainty while modeling resilience, sibling cooperation, and mindful problem-solving. For children ages 5 to 8, it turns a potentially scary scenario into an empowering story of competence and the comfort of returning to the safety of family.
