"A celebration of new experiences and the power of imagination combine in this charming story of lion-like Leonie."
July 2024 Book of the Month
On a daytrip to the busy and bustling city, Leonie is as brave as a lion. Racing through crowds, growling in museums and charging through pigeon-filled squares, she is fierce and bold. But as evening creeps in and shadows grow, it is the comforting arms of her loving mum she needs.
This is a charming picture book about grabbing life and new experiences with two hands. Leonie is a great example of a bold, confident little girl claiming her place in the world. Whilst the ending provides a gentle warning about not straying too far too quickly, and the power of having a secure and loving parent to return to.
Beautifully warm-hued illustrations bring the city to life with a rich playfulness, whilst the colours, dappled art and use of shadow perfectly invoke the sense of a lion. In addition, scale and perspective are expertly used to capture what it fills like to be small in a big city.
An inspiring tale of imagination and boldness, perfect for fans of Sydney Smith and Joseph Coelho’s Luna series.
