A sun. A flower. And a lion. With three visual motifs, three colors,
and fewer than 200 words, renowned Caldecott Medal winner and #1 New
York Times-bestseller Kevin Henkes cracks open the wide world and the
youngest child's endless imagination. This irresistible board book is a
must-have for every reader and every family and is a perfect gift for a
new baby.
On a warm morning, a little lion sleeps under a sun that shines so
brightly, it looks like a flower. He dreams the flower is as big as the
sun. He dreams the flower is a cookie. He lets his imagination soar.
Caldecott Medal winner Kevin Henkes uses simple shapes, limited colors,
and a pitch-perfect text to tell Lion's story in this transcendent board
book. Sun Flower Lion introduces emerging readers to short chapters,
action verbs, and adjectives, while bright illustrations transform
simple shapes into something magical.
Sun Flower Lion will shine at story time and bedtime and for young
children just learning how to turn the pages and read on their own.
