But Tim travels a lot—he is a foster child and has to move from one family to the next all too often.  Tim is always losing things, so when he moves in with the Lee family he doesn’t bother unpacking his dinosaurs in case they get lost when he has to move again. But one day he realizes he has lost something just as precious as his dinosaurs: his laugh. He doesn’t know where he lost it, but it definitely disappeared.  The kind Lee family help Tim look for his laugh, but no one can find it anywhere. Then one day, some news arrives that might just help Tim find his laugh again. The Boy Who Lost His Laugh takes a sensitive look at foster care from the child’s perspective, and shows how humor and love can help you bounce back and find what you’ve been looking for all along.
