Last and Found
By Maija Hurme
THE BRAW AMAZING BOOKSHELF 2024
There is a last that can be found at anytime. The last bit of chocolate, the last day of winter, the last moment in the womb, the missing last piece of a puzzle among others. A last can be a possibility, a beginning, a shortcoming, a fear, a sorrow or a change. Some lasts are happy, some just plain sad. This book is a collection of treasures inviting open conversations about each and everyone’s lasts.
This warm-hearted and exquisite picture book is a gathering of special moments in life collected with a sensitive eye by award-winning author-illustrator Maija Hurme.

Reviews
"Simply great!"
“Last and Found is a work of art that breaks genre boundaries. The work has a strong, genuine dual address, which makes it an appealing read for all ages. The collages revolving around the last moments, plants, animals, and encounters capture life’s beauty, joy, sadness, and comfort in a startling way.”
