A story about the art of making friends--and the bravery of one kind little girl. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKing Lion wants a friend. But the only way he knows to communicate is to ROAR! Waving his paw, flashing a smile, and even cracking a joke don't help. How can he let the townsfolk know that he just wants some company? Wild with loneliness, the king climbs to the top of a tower and roars his fierce sadness day and night, until one day, a little girl hears him and thinks that perhaps she understands. With charming illustrations, Emma Yarlett's gently humorous take on how to make friends shows a little empathy goes a long way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emma Yarlett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536231496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmma Yarlett \u003c\/b\u003eis the creator of \u003ci\u003eNibbles: The Book Monster\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrion and the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSidney\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eStella\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eand the Moon. \u003c\/i\u003eShe is also the author-illustrator of a popular series of novelty books that includes \u003ci\u003eDragon Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeast Feast\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSanta Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and her work has been nominated twice for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
