Sometimes, friends have to fly away for awhile. The best ones return to us. The Lion and the Bird, written and illustrated by Marianne Dubuc, tells the tale of a lion who finds a wounded bird and nurses it back to health. An unlikely friendship ensues.
Dubuc’s illustrations are infused with delicate patterns that change with the cycles of the day, seasons and friendship, and inspired us to create postcards for friends in far-flung places. Just to let them know we’re thinking of them, and hope we’ll meet again. (Picture book. 4-7)
