Steadfast Fortitude and curious Patience are waiting every morning to greet visitors of the Library. That is until, one early morning, when Fortitude finds Patience is missing. The city is about to awake, and the lions absolutely must be in their places before the sun rises. Now, Fortitude must abandon his own post to find his best friend in the Library's labyrinthine halls. With clever rhyme and vibrant art, Lost in the Library introduces young readers to a pair of unforgettable lions, as well as the famed New York Public Library, and includes bonus material loaded with facts about Patience, Fortitude, and the NYPL's history.
Josh Funk is the author of several books including Lady Pancake & Sir French Toast, It's Not Jack and the Beanstalk, and How to Code a Sandcastle. Although he is allergic to cats, Patience and Fortitude have fur made of marble and caused no problems in the writing of this book. joshfunkbooks.com Stevie Lewis lives on the road, furthering her passion for climbing, art, and the outdoors.
