The Lost Drop is a profound picture book based in prehistoric nature that examines the cycle of life and how we fit into the grand scheme of things, from author Grégoire Laforce and illustrator Benjamin Flouw.
Flo, a little drop of water, falls out of the sky and into the world for the first time. Unaware of the nature of her surroundings, or even her mere existence, she wonders who she is and where she’s supposed to go. As life pulls her in different directions, puts obstacles in her path, and guides her toward other living creatures, the answers to her questions continue to lack clarity. That is, until she finally sees the light and, suddenly, it all makes sense.
The Lost Drop is a wonderfully creative story that allows each reader, young and old, to gently discuss the cycles of life and our place within them.
Water Cycle as Life
"Whimsical tale which poses philosophical questions around identity and our place in the world. A beautiful allegory of a child's existential questions through the lens of the water cycle."
