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
Medalist Kevin Henkes uses simple shapes, limited colors, and a
pitch-perfect text to tell Lion’s story in this transcendent picture
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 read on their own.
