Rereading a childhood favorite and not disappointed. I remember this book was one of the 1st -and maybe only children's book I read- where the mother was shown to be flawed and unloving. That was so important to me as a child. Reading how Naomi found her voice and became a lion/léon made sure this book has always stayed in the back of my mind. Definitely recommend.
