This book also serves as a great inspiration for budding artists, illustrators and writers.

Christina's note: I chose this book because it's beautifully written and gorgeously illustrated. The words are just enough to help the artwork tell the story, and bring forward the emotions that go along with unexpected friendship and subsequent loss. The story will tug at your heartstrings, and you and your little one will have to read it yourself to see what happens to the Lion and the. Bird in the end! Ages 3+
