What if a dandelion became a real lion? With enchanting, ethereal
art, this wordless story shares a world where reality can be
transfigured by imagination.
In a meadow filled with dandelion buds just about to flower, one
dandelion blooms into a real lion. Roots and leaves unfurl into four
tiny paws and a long tail with a fluffy yellow tuft. What a great, wide
world there is to explore when you have paws instead of roots: there are
fast trains to ride, regal ships to sail, and cities with lights as
bright as Dandelion's field in full bloom. But will a real lion ever be
content to go back to being a rooted dandelion? Yoko Tanaka's exquisite
illustrations take us on an adventure where even the smallest seeds
contain cosmic dreams.
