Flora's Wish -- Fiona Halliday, Hardcover

In this lyrical and visually stunning picture book, a young mouse learns how to grieve and honor her best friend

Flora the field mouse was a boldly whiskered lion-tamer! Although it wasn't very hard to be bold and brave with her best friend Lion (a dandelion) by her side. But as the seasons change, Lion's whiskers go from a bright yellow to shimmering silver, until one day, he scatters in the wind completely. Can Flora still be brave without Lion by her side?
