The Lion and the Bird

The Lion and the Bird by Marianne Dubuc is a sensitive, beautiful, and utterly charming fable about generosity, kindness, and true friendship. One autumn day, a lion finds a wounded bird in his garden. With the departure of the bird's flock, the lion decides that it's up to him to care for the bird. He does, and the two become fast friends.

Nevertheless, the bird departs with his flock the following autumn. What will become of Lion, and what will become of their friendship? Told with spare, tender pacing, including pages left intentionally blank to evoke falling snow, this hardcover picture book from internationally recognized author-illustrator Marianne Dubuc is a gentle story about caring for others and the seasons of friendship.
