«Léo» is the children's picture book by Robert Kraus with illustrations by José Aruego, published by L'École des Loisirs in paperback (28 pages, in French).
Léo is a little tiger who cannot yet talk, read, or draw, to his parents' concern. With patience, they wait; one day he blooms, like flowers in the sun, and shows his abilities. A story about learning rhythms and trust in each child's development.
The book was originally published in English in 1971 under the title «Leo the Late Bloomer»; this French edition is from 2009.
For children beginning to read and for families and educators; a read that invites respecting each little one's own pace.
Robert Kraus was an American children's author illustrator, cartoonist and publisher. His successful career began early at the New Yorker Magazine, producing hundreds of cartoons and nearly two dozen covers for the magazine over 15 years. Afterwards, he pivoted his career to children's literature, writing and illustrating over 100 children’s books and publishing even more as the founder of publishing house Windmill Books. His body of work is best remembered for depicting animal heroes who always try their best and never give up, which were ideals important to him at an early age.
