Saroo's real life adventure grabs you from the first moment and never lets you go. His long journey to find his mother, after being adopted by a wonderful couple after he is left wandering the streets as an urchin, is heartwarming by itself. But his determination to find his mother, to learn his brother was killed the same day he went missing, and to combine his new and old family together touched my heart. An amazing story by an amazing man.
This picture book rendition of the remarkable true story of Saroo Brierly that as been an international bestseller and made into the award-winning film, Lion, is riveting.

I wasn't sure how a picture book version of such an amazing story would work, but the author and illustrator have done an incredible job! They conveyed the danger and the scariness of Saroo being lost, without dwelling on any of the specifics that would be too much for younger readers. The years of searching are reduced to just a few lines of text, but the reunion is appropriately given a little more time and space. Bruce Whatley's art work complements the text wonderfully.
