Everyone is invited to Lion’s home – even Bear, who no-one else wants to be friends with! Lion has sent everyone some boots, so they can safely cross the fast-flowing river. But Bear doesn’t feel he is good enough to accept Lion’s invitation. Will he ever make it to the celebrations? Inspired by the Bible story of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, this is a heart-warming story of unconditional love and acceptance.

Joyful illustrations from Krisztina Kallai Nagy – and adorable animals in boots!
