Overview

Compassion is a force mightier than stone in this Honour book in the Picture Book of the Year award winning, heartwarming tale by Kiss, Kiss! author Margaret Wild

Sometimes statues are granted a chance to become warm, breathing creatures. The stone lion has only one dream—to run, pounce, and leap in the park across from where he sits. But one snowy night, when a baby is abandoned at his paws, he is compelled to think differently. This heartwarming and inspiring tale, with stunning Depression-era illustrations by Ritva Voutila, demonstrates the power of kindness and its profound ability to change lives.
