Gelli Belle and the Lazy Lion

By Vernae Bezear

Gelli Belle and The Lazy Lion (Book 2 in The Gelli Belle Series) is written in the style of a poem. It has a lyrical, and rhythmic tone with illustrations that blend real-world photography and digital sketching in a colorful, mixed medium design.

It is a fun and playful children's picture book that revolves around a little girl and a sentient stuffed toy with little interest in moving from the comfort of his toy box bed. Gelli wakes up to a beautiful new day with all of the hope and wonder that most young children have. She is ready to play and select a companion to join in on the fun. Asleep in a chest is a lion who is determined not to play with Gelli, no matter how enticing her promises of what the day might bring for them both.

Can Gelli Belle convince Larry that there is more to life than sleeping? Can she convince him to enjoy life and the fun things in it?

Gelli Belle and The Lazy Lion remind us all that life is beautiful AND worth enjoying!
