Like lots of little children, Ida notices things other people don’t, including the big Hedge Lion who lives in her garden, ‘very still, and very quiet, and very hedgy’.
Ida is determined to help him find his roar and does so with real success; in fact, the lion’s roar is so loud it scares all the birds and insects that live in its mane. Together, the friends work out a way for the lion to let out his roars, before they get too big.
Beautifully told and splendidly illustrated, the lion picked out in gorgeous splashes of golden yellow, this is a delicate examination of friendship and understanding, and a lovely celebration of a young child’s imagination too.
Discover your inner-roar with Ida, and your inner kindness with Hedge Lion! Ida sees Hedge Lion every day on her walk around town. Hedge Lion wants everyone to think he’s a hedge.
