A day at the Yonder Creek Festival is supposed to be full of games, music, treats, and fun. And for Ohno the Opossum, it is-until one giant, shimmering bubble catches his eye.

When Ohno turns around, his family and friends are gone.

Oh no!

Ohno is scared, and his first thought is to run through the busy festival looking for them. But then he remembers what he has been taught.

Stop. Stay. Find a helper. Tell what you know. Wait.

Instead of letting his worry take over, Ohno follows the plan. He stays where helpers can find him, asks a safe festival helper for help, shares what he remembers, and waits-even when waiting feels very, very hard.

Ohno the Opossum Gets Lost turns an important childhood safety lesson into a warm and reassuring Yonder Creek adventure. Young readers will see that being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Sometimes being brave means remembering what to do and doing it even when you're afraid.

With familiar friends, a colorful festival setting, a Find-It activity, and an easy-to-remember lost-child safety plan, this story gives families a natural way to talk with young children about what to do if they ever become separated from their grown-up.

A reassuring story about courage, staying calm, asking for help, and knowing what to do when you're lost.
