How to Hide a Lion at Christmas
How to Hide a Lion at Christmas by Helen Stephens
Iris and her lion go everywhere together, so spending Christmas apart feels unthinkable. But when Iris’s family is travelling by train, Mum decides that a lion simply cannot come along—and he is left behind.
The lion, however, has no intention of missing Iris or Christmas. He sets off through the snow to find her, beginning a determined festive adventure filled with wintry surprises and a near encounter with Father Christmas.
Helen Stephens brings warmth and gentle humour to every spread, balancing the excitement of the lion’s journey with the tenderness of a friendship that refuses to be left behind. A reassuring festive story for children who enjoy animal companions, snowy journeys and joyful reunions.
