1st line/s: "Like other packages, this one began as an empty box."
My comments: So much of the telling in this story is shown through the illustrations, not the text. The illustrations are absolutely lovely. My only criticism is that in this day and age, when the postal system is under such scrutiny, why the package wasn't returned to the USPS to wend its way to its final destination. Sure, it was a great story of the package's path, but a little negative to the postal system, even though I know that was not the author's intent after reading about his family background. I'm really fretting about the USPS's slow demise.....
Goodreads: The heartwarming story of a package that gets lost, then found and an in-depth behind the scenes look at what happens at the post office, in Richard Ho and Jessica Lanan's The Lost Package...
