Lost in Lumo

Meer over het boek

Lost in Lumo tells the story of Mina, a girl who meets a shaggy, silent creature called Lumo at an abandoned bus stop. Together they spend fleeting moments in a seemingly ruined city that still seems to breathe. A melancholy picture book about loss, memory, and things that remain. It presents loose fragments, thoughts, images and speaks quietly of parting and the comfort that often sits where no one is waiting. Lost in Lumo leaves room for interpretation and is like a diary of the unspeakable. It is not necessarily intended for children, but for people who can still feel like children or wish to feel that way again. The story and imagery evolved through an experimental, collaborative process with an AI, but were fully curated, edited, and illustrated by hand. The picture book was originally written in English and has so far only been translated into German.
