“How am I gonna learn a whole new language? This is harder than I thought…”
Mei is a normal girl from China, excited about the new chapter in her life. Her family is moving to Canada! While she daydreams about her new adventures, it quickly turns to a nightmare due to the new obstacle facing her. Mei doesn’t speak one word of English, and nobody else in the town speaks Chinese except for her parents. How will she communicate??
A story of finding where you belong and facing your fears, Lost and Found is a beautifully illustrated graphic novel for middle grades (3rd through 5th). Language barriers come up in everyday life for many, and through trusting the process and hard work they can be worked around and even broken down. Mei’s story is very honest, true, and can teach us all a thing or two about kindness as well.
