review 1: This picture book is a quiet, reflective, thoughtful look at friendship, relationships, and letting go. A lion finds an injured bird and nurses the bird back to health. The lion and the bird spend the winter together, with the lion thoughtfully taking care of the bird and the two enjoying activities together. The bird leaves to rejoin its flock, and the lion is left to reflect on the loss and the experience. This is a surprisingly powerful story; there may have been tears while reading this. Lovely, simple, and touching. Good for all ages.
review 2: This quiet friendship book is unusual: it's much longer than most picture books, but many of the spreads are wordless and the ones that do have words have only one or two sentences. One autumn, Lion finds an injured... more bird and cares for it during the winter. In spring, the bird is able to fly off with its flock. Lion misses the bird, and when winter returns, so does the bird to Lion. Gentle and cozy. less
