The Lion's Shirt


By: Uri Orlev • Illustrations: Dosh Gerstein

More than any of the birthday presents she's received, Danielle loves the shirt with the lion on it. When the lion jumps off her shirt, Danielle tries to get it back, and along the way she laughs, gets scared, overcomes her fear, and makes a new friend.

Age Group: Preschool (4-6)

“What kind of lion do you want to be?” asks Daniella the lion on her shirt, thus touching on questions of self-image that preoccupy many children. As in the book and in real life – the night unleashes the imagination, in which reality is blurred, sometimes inviting a journey into the soul, an encounter with fears and wishes, and time to process feelings and feelings.

We will seek our self, we will seek ourselves and we will find
