The Day We Got Lost Hardcover – Picture Book, August 20, 2024
On a day that's perfect for being outside in nature,Smudge and his family head for a hike in the mountains. But Willa’s fussing, Mom’s stressing, Grandpa’s telling the same old stories all over again, and Smudge will absolutely NOT be good, thank you very much.
When nature’s beauty doesn’t bring them together right away, could wandering from the path be just what they need?
Faith Pray’s gentle and stunning watercolors stir up a forest full of emotions in this subtle exploration of feeling distant from the ones you love and finding your way back to each other again.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Pray depicts the group’s less-united moments with empathy instead of judgment.... An ultimately cozy portrayal of a day that begins as memorable for the wrong reasons, only to end with Smudge’s loved ones learning to find their way—together."―Horn Book
"A sweet book celebrating family, togetherness, belonging, and love."―School Library Journal
Praise for Perfectly Imperfect Mira:
"The multiracial cast of children is full of energy and their physically expressive activities are captivating. A sweet celebration of the growth mindset." —Kirkus Reviews
"Give this book to perfectionists or to those who feel too anxious to try new things." —Horn Book
"Text and image work in fluid harmony in this sensitive picture book about overcoming perfectionism." —Publishers Weekly
"This engaging story provides an inspiring insight into children’s feelings and the growth of confidence. Pair with similar stories by Peter H. Reynolds including The Dot, Ish, and Sky Color." —School Library Journal
