THE MUSEUM OF LOST THINGS

What happens to the things we lose?

On a rainy evening in Dublin, Mara discovers a tiny doorway tucked between a bookshop and a café.

Above it hangs a curious sign:

THE MUSEUM OF LOST THINGS

Inside are drawers filled with forgotten treasures - buttons, letters, photographs, keys and all the small things people once held dear.

But one object is different.

A little yellow shoe.

When Mara discovers that the shoe is connected to a story from her Grandad's childhood, an ordinary lost object becomes the beginning of an extraordinary journey through memory, family and belonging.

The Museum of Lost Things is a tender, atmospheric picture book about the stories hidden inside everyday objects, the memories we carry with us, and the unexpected ways lost things can find their way home.

Illustrated in a richly textured handmade collage style, with torn paper, maps, photographs, painted surfaces and found ephemera, this is a picture book made for children and grown-ups to explore together.

A gentle story for ages 4-8, especially for young readers who love museums, mysterious places, family stories and discovering the extraordinary in ordinary things.
