Tim loves his collection of dinosaurs — but one thing he'd love even more is a family of his own.

Tim's beloved dinosaur collection travels with him wherever he goes. 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 has 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 humour and love can help you bounce back and find what you've been looking for all along.
