Special Delivery! The Lost Package by Richard Ho

LIKE OTHER PACKAGES, THIS ONE BEGAN WITH AN EMPTY BOX.

A child places a carefully chosen gift inside, secures the flaps with great care and lots of tape, and addresses it with a personal message, and with a dog on leash, a boy and his mom set off down the sidewalk to the big post office, where the box is weighed and stamped and begins its travels

It moves through the wondrous process of the conveyor belt where magical devices measures sort, and route it to to the airport. But on the way, the delivery truck hits a pothole, the door flies open, and, unnoticed by the truck's driver, the box bounces out and into the puddle alongside the curb, where a curious dog is walking with a boy and his mother.

The dog pulls on his leash to give the package an investigative sniff, while the boy and his mother read the address on the label.

THE BOX WAS TATTERED BUT ITS DESTINATION WAS CLEAR.

The boy and his mom exchange surprised looks as they realize that they and the box are making the trip to the same place. The package takes its place in their moving truck with boxes of their belongings. All day they drive down the long, wet, rainy roads taking them to their new home.

And when they arrive, their first stop is at the very address on the lost-and-found box, where another surprised boy and his amazed mother open the door to find them on their doorstep.

NOT ALL PACKAGES TRAVEL THE SAME ROAD.

SOME GET LOST. SOME GET FOUND.

But this one is delivered, not by Santa, but by a really kind boy and mom, in this sweet story of a gift, lost, found, and delivered by hand by perhaps new friends, in Richard Ho's The Lost Package (Roaring Brook Press, 2021), lovingly illustrated by Jessica Lanan's rain-burnished artwork.

Says Publishers Weekly in a their starred review, "The richness of the tale lies in subtly textured watercolor illustrations by Lanan (The Fisherman and the Whale), which poignantly portray a broad range of settings, from gritty urban streets shimmering with rain to snow-swept terrains to a desolate gas station."

  • HAVE YOU BEEN A VICTIM OF INVESTMENT SCAM? CONTACT RECOVERY MASTERS FOR SWIFT RECOVERY.

    As a business-minded individual, I despised staying at home, saving all my pensions and not being able to use them to make more money, so I went on the lookout for an investment. I tried binary options and forex, lost some money, and took a break from the online investment thing until I came across a so-called investor guru. I put a lot of money into him and never received it back. I saw articles on Recovery Masters how they have helped victims recover their lost funds and btc. Despite the fact I was at first dubious about the whole thing, l contacted them via their email. Truly grateful for their splendid service and support.. Contact them to recover your lost BTC or money.
