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\u003cbr\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.
