De Leeuw en het Vogeltje, (The Lion and the Bird) by Canadian author / illustrator Marianne Dubuc, is chosen in the Picture Books Top 10 for the National Reading Days of 2016. Today we are putting this beautiful picture book in the spotlight.
This is a stunning picture book that we love to read to the little monsters! The sweet story together with the beautiful pastel coloured drawings says it all. Even if the text is sparse, the story does not need more words.
On a beautiful autumn day, Lion finds an injured bird. He takes the bird with him, to care for it. That is the beginning of a unusual but very special friendship.
