Little Lion

Anna Fiske

Little Lion is smaller than a cherry, but bigger than a grain of rice. Little Lion is a tiny treasure! Mum says I shouldn't love something so tiny, because small things can easily get lost. That I should leave Little Lion at home when we leave the house. But Little Lion fits perfectly inside my mitten! All day Little Lion is with me: in the pocket of my jacket, on our way to kindergarten and on the bus. But suddenly Little Lion is gone. The days become gray and sad, and everything feels meaningless without Little Lion. But one day on our way to the bus Mum finds Little Lion on the ground! Thankfully! But, when Little Lion once more disappears, down the sink this time, it is gone forever. One would think it would be easier to lose something a second time, but that's not true. It was only Little Lion who wanted to say goodbye before leaving for good. Where did Little Lion swim off to? It can be anywhere. But Little Lion still lives on in my heart and my thoughts. Anna Fiske has made a touching and insightful picture book about how tender, and also beautiful, it is to be a child and love a toy. Through exceptional illustrations and a simple, yet powerful story, she takes us on a journey through loss, hope and love. «... a straight up charming book that takes the children's emotions seriously, while also being light-hearted and inviting in its expression.»KLASSEKAMPEN

Imagine if a dragon came here while he sleeps? A dragon that can breathe fire, and has sharp claws, and everything! Milo yells for Dad, but what can Dad do about dragons? Maybe if they use their imagination, and picture the dragon with a diaper on its head it won't seem so scary?
