Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers

A boy helps a lost penguin makes its way home, but once their journey is complete, they discover what they really needed was one another.

 

How these stories are connected: The boy tells the penguin all sorts of stories and they about wonderful things. Just like the disciples on the Road to Emmaus, they don’t know the value of the wonderful things they are hearing until something else happens.
