Bookroo's summary

Iris discovers a gentle lion in her playhouse and decides to keep him hidden from her parents, who might not understand. As she cleverly conceals him behind shower curtains and in trees, the question looms: how long can she keep her secret? With each hiding spot, the stakes grow higher, and Iris must navigate the challenges of keeping her new friend safe. Will her parents ever discover the truth, or can Iris outsmart them forever?

From the publisher

How does a very small girl hide a very large lion? It’s not easy, but Iris has to do her best, because moms and dads can be funny about having a lion in the house. Luckily, there are lots of good places to hide a lion–behind the shower curtain, in your bed, and even up a tree. But can Iris hide her lion forever? With Helen Stephens’s timeless art and elegant text, readers will fall in love with Iris and her lion.
