this was a super cute book about the powers of social media and getting a stuffed animal back to the child they belong too. absolutely adorable.
Finding Mr Trunks is a heartwarming story about the positive power of social media and people pulling together to return a young child's lovey.
In a highly relateable circumstance for many families, Libby's toy elephant Mr Trunks is lost at an airport. Picked up by a baby, Mr Trunks travels the world and becomes social media famous before being returned to his family.
This was a really sweet story, and a nice way of showing young children the way social media can unite people for a cause. It's a lovely reframe of a sad situation (losing a beloved toy), and I can see it being of great comfort to children in a similar situation! The illustrations are quirky and interesting - there's lots for children to explore on each page. I was immediately drawn in by the imagery on the cover, and I loved the surprise mix of animals and humans on vacation! It was fun to look at the instagram posts to try to figure out where Mr Trunks was.
