Plot

Шаблон:More plot A Lion in the Meadow follows a little boy who believes there is a lion living in a meadow behind his house.

Art

The art work presented is captured in many unique ways. It fumbles upon distinctive swirls, shapes, and colors that emphasizes the story line. The pictures by Jenny Williams has a slightly trippy vibe. With bold swirls and pinks, oranges and purples reflect the little boy's imagination and are mirrored by the mother's clothes and interior decor in the house.

Themes

The theme of the story is surrounded around the idea of over parenting, and taking a over bearing stance on child development. One where the parent tries to limit and restrict the imagination of the child.
