"Lost and Found" by Adam Gustavson follows the journey of a young boy who discovers that lost items have their own stories to tell. After finding a series of misplaced objects, he embarks on a quest to return them to their rightful owners. Each item holds a memory, revealing lessons about love, loss, and connection. As the boy navigates his town, he learns about the importance of empathy and the bonds that tie people together. In a heartwarming tale filled with beautiful illustrations, the story emphasizes the significance of recognizing what we truly value and the warmth of human relationships.

Golden Sower Award - Primary
This book was recognised in the Primary category of the Golden Sower Award . Just as The Sower sows seeds, symbolizing the agriculture, life and prosperity of the state, the The Golden Sower Award seeks to sow seeds of literacy in children by encouraging them to read. The award became affiliated with the Nebraska Library Association as a committee under the School, Children and Young Peoples Section of the NLA in 1985. In 2016, the committee revised the categories of books in order to better describe the generally intended reading levels of the program. The three categories are now: Picture Books: (formerly Primary) generally appropriate for K-2 children; Chapter Books: (formerly Intermediate) intended to be appropriate for grades 3-5; Novel: (formerly young adult) appropriate for grades 6-8. In 2023, the committee revised and renamed the categories, keeping similar grade level designations, but adding an additional category targeted at high school readers. Each year, thousands of Nebraskas youth participate in the Golden Sower Award by reading titles, talking about the books with others, holding book battles, voting for their favorites, and throwing celebrations for the winners.
