Patrick Benson.
One day at the beach, three creatures--the Lostlet, the Strangelet, and the Oddlet--happen on a mysterious being: a lost boy. They console him, he answers their questions ("What means home?"), and they all end up happy together. Text and art imbue the three invented animals with humanity and the offbeat story with meaning.
