A young girl wants to see a puma, in the wild. Her grandmother tells her this is a long-dream, because it probably won't happen - pumas are elusive and stay away from people. She knows it may take a long time, even years to catch a glimpse of one, but her grandma helps, placing a salt lick on the hillside far away from the farmhouse, it's something that attracts lots of different kinds of animals - perhaps a puma will find it irresistible.
Oh! The illustrations are exquisite! Acrylics, colored pencil and opaque inks make every illustration a portrait. The text is poetic and beautiful. A wonderful book about hoping, and patience and dreams. Includes information about the Puma, and links to conservation groups and ways you can help preserve this declining cat.
