From award-winning duo Tony Johnston and Jim LaMarche comes a
stunning, lyrical picture book about a girl's desire to see an elusive
California puma in the wild that includes interesting facts about this
beautiful and threatened animal.
A girl visiting her grandmother longs for a glimpse of the solitary and
rarely seen puma. Her grandmother tells her that if she's patient, one
day her wish will come true. But patience is hard, the girl thinks. So,
the girl and her grandmother stand watch each day, and then finally,
without warning, she sees the beautiful animal from afar. Knowing she
may never see a puma again, she now knows it's everyone's responsibility
to protect these increasingly threatened animals.
