#MagnificentMarch Day 21: This gorgeous picturebook features one of my #FavoriteLiteraryFriendship. Almost wordless & illustrated in gentle colours & muted tones with a lot of white spaces for the eyes to rest, this is a book to quietly savor in all its whispered thoughts. Even the fonts are laid out very discreetly in minuscule format, almost afraid to disrupt the peace of the blues and the soothing greens. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9lf

one autumn day a lion finds a wondering bird in his garden. these two became friends real fast. but the bird must go hole to his flock.

This was such a beautiful, quiet story about friendship.

"And so it goes. Sometimes life is like that."

Philosophical picture books are thick on the ground, but philosophical picture books that you actually want to read are hard to find. Not so, Lion And The Bird, which forsakes treacle for a minimalist and non-cliched take on friendship and love.
