Praise for The House of Lost and Found:
 
'Widmark's melancholy story about loneliness gains atmosphere and, ultimately, lift from Dziubak's beautiful illustrations, hand-drawn using colored pencils. Children will pore over the details and delight as Niles banishes murky darkness with light.' -- Kirkus Reviews
 
'A beautifully scripted, illustrated, and uplifting picture book.' -- Midwest Book Review
 
'In this complex and mature tale of reawakening, pages boast dark, richly detailed illustrations aglow with deftly conjured light.' -- Booklist Online
 
'The illustrations are dreamy, reminding me of Rembrandt, each one a work of artÂ… Perfect.'  -- Youth Services Book Review
 
'This is a wonderfully uplifting book about coming to terms with grief and loss, and the power of nature.' -- Juno Magazine
