About the Book

Seal helps his best friend and lost and found virtuoso, Worm, find his hat.

Book Synopsis

A picture book for anyone who has ever lost anything!

Worm runs one of the best lost and found offices in the world. He has a rare ability to find things. Lost umbrella? Missing keys? Misplaced toy? If it is lost, then Worm can find it. But then the unthinkable happens: Worm can't find his hat!

Worm's absent-minded friend Seal is always losing things. But can she help Worm find his beloved hat? Seal has the perfect solution: look left, look right, then . . . make pancakes? Can Seal's silly solution actually help Worm find his favorite cap?

In Jule Wellerdiek's first book with NorthSouth she finds a humorous way to deal with things that are lost, and celebrates the joy that comes with finding things when you least expect it.

Includes a seek and find game throughout the book!
