Back home in Brazil, Roberto loved playing football. Now he lives in Ireland, and he’d really like to have a game with the boys in the park, but he’s too shy.

When his granny reminds him of the Brazilian story of the dreaming tree, he doesn’t see how a story can help him …

But maybe it can!

The Lion and the Mouse



 

A stunning, wordless version of one of Aesop's best-loved fables, from one of America's most acclaimed artists.

This Aesop's fable is a favourite and familiar one: a mouse inadvertently disturbs a lion, who lets the mouse go ... and is later himself freed by the mouse from a poacher's trap. Jerry Pinkney's jaw-droppingly gorgeous new wordless treatment is irresistible, its wealth of visual detail offering huge scope for the pages to be turned and the story retold over and over again. Spectacular.
