You've probably heard this story before. A lion spares a mouse's life. The mouse then saves the lion from hunters. It's an old fable, but Jerry Pinkney made it new.
In his version of the story, there are barely any words. All of the story is told through Pinkney's expressive and distinctive watercolor style.
