**A sun. A flower. And a lion. With three visual motifs, three colors, and fewer than 200 words, renowned Caldecott Medal winner and #1 _New York Times_\-bestseller Kevin Henkes cracks open the wide world and the youngest child's endless imagination. This irresistible board book is a must-have for every reader and every family and is a perfect gift for a new baby.**

On a warm morning, a little lion sleeps under a sun that shines so brightly, it looks like a flower. He dreams the flower is as big as the sun. He dreams the flower is a cookie. He lets his imagination soar.

Caldecott Medal winner Kevin Henkes uses simple shapes, limited colors, and a pitch-perfect text to tell Lion's story in this transcendent board book. _Sun Flower Lion_ introduces emerging readers to short chapters, action verbs, and adjectives, while bright illustrations transform simple shapes into something magical.

_Sun Flower Lion_ will shine at story time and bedtime and for young children just learning how to turn the pages and read on their own.
