Worthy of living again, because it was understood!

Visually stunning throughout, showcasing the endless charm of Yoko Sano's work!

  A long, long time ago, cats and lions were relatives, and they lived together. The cat loved the lion very much and came to see the lion every day. The lion also loved the cat very much, and every day it would fly into the sky to hunt and prepare a feast for the cat. But the cats didn't really understand the lion; they thought the lion was always strong and never tired. Yet the lion was already exhausted, and could only secretly hide and cry at night. One day, the lion finally collapsed from exhaustion, turning into a golden stone statue...

  "The Flying Lion" is a picture book created by Yoko Sano after "The Cat Who Lived a Million Times," with very similar drawing and writing styles. "The Flying Lion" tells the story of a lion living among a group of cats, admired by them, but consequently afraid to bravely speak of its own difficulties. The cats enjoyed the lion's care, but did not try to understand it. When love becomes taken for granted, how heavy can its burden be? Through the predicaments of these two parties, this book conveys the importance of communication and empathy, which are the most important lessons for everyone in interpersonal relationships and groups, offering readers endless space for contemplation.

"The Flying Lion" is visually stunning throughout. Children will envy it one moment, then sympathize with it the next, immersed in the story's dramatic twists and turns; adults, watching the lion tirelessly rushing to find food for the cat group, might find a different sentiment stirring in their hearts. Yoko Sano's picture books truly possess endless charm!
