When Caro and her mum move to a new house, Caro becomes lonely. There's only so much exploring she can do by herself! It's not long though before she makes a new friend — The Snow Lion. He's as white as snow, and together they have fun playing hide and seek, chasing and sliding. However, it's soon time for Caro to venture out on her own...
From the fabulous partnership of award-winning author Jim Helmore and the brilliant Richard Jones comes a stunning book about friendship. With a slightly magical, classic feel and a lovely message, The Snow Lion is a story which will appeal to children and parents alike, and the beautiful illustrations make this a book to treasure.
"The Snow Lion is not only a wonderful playmate (winking from the walls he can easily disappear against), he’s also wise, gently nudging Caro to play with a neighborhood boy named Bobby, who in turn introduces Caro to his friends ('I won’t know anyone,' she worries. 'You’ll have a great time,' the lion replies, 'and you do know Bobby'). Caro begins to fit in but now wonders whether she’s being disloyal to her first friend.... Visually and emotionally, there’s expansiveness, poignancy, and hope in these pages, the Snow Lion’s benevolent presence presiding over it all." — Publishers Weekly
