一个叫玛莎的红发孩子喜欢画狮子，一只狮子从纸上一跃而出，它要吃午餐，并探索者它周围的一切……是玛莎创造了这个狮子，还是她只是向一头已经存在的动物发出了邀请？这个插图精美的故事赞美了艺术创作的欢乐和想象的力量。

Martha, a redheaded child who loves to draw, paints a lion. It leaps off the paper, asks for lunch, and explores its surroundings... Nina Wehrle and Evelyne Laube, the Swiss illustration duo behind this story, draw reality and fantasy in competing styles. The real objects appear in clinically precise black-and-white line drawings, while the lion is rendered in a loose, inky wash with red, yellow, and blue accents. Clashes between the two worlds animate many of the spreads. Did Martha create the lion or merely issue an invitation to a creature that already existed? Either way, its energy personifies the creative impulse, wild and ungovernable. A beautifully illustrated story that celebrates the joys of artistic creation and the power of imagination
