Jim's Lion by Hoban Russell
An acclaimed, moving story about a child undergoing a major operation facing his fear and triumphing. Lying in his hospital bed, Jim worries about being put to sleep before his operation. What if the doctors send him somewhere that he can't find his way back from? Nurse Bami says his finder will come looking for him. Everyone has their own finder; Jim just has to find his. And deep in his dreams, he does: a lion. But when the time comes, will Jim's lion be able to find him and bring him safely home?
