Description

From an author whose work is said to “burgeon with joy,” here is a gentle mystery about a silent, gallant lion and a sweetly cheerful bird—two friends who are attracted to each other through the universal language of art. Elisa uses watercolor, gouache, ink, colored pencils, pastels, markers, and  crayons to collage this charming and colorful tale.

“Illustrated with mixed-media collages so richly colored and textured that readers will want to feel the pages.”—Kirkus Reviews (pointered review)
 
“A sweet and captivating book with gorgeous illustrations. Its story line and artwork both have unusual and unexpected qualities that work together to generate a magical, light mood.”—School Library Journal (starred review)

About the Author

As a child Elisa Kleven loved to make miniature, make believe worlds using art supplies, scraps, and imagination. She now uses that same joyful imagination to create the colorful, detailed worlds inside of her picture books.

Elisa is the author and illustrator of many books, including The Lion and the Little Red Bird and The Paper Princess, both of which have been adapted as theater productions, Sun Bread, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book, and her recent Glasswings, a Butterfly's Story. She has also illustrated numerous books for other authors, including the bestselling Abuela by Arthur Dorros and De Colores by Jose Luis Orozco, both ALA Notable Books..

Elisa lives with her family and pets in the town of Albany, a few minutes from San Francisco Bay.
