🌟Welcome to Enchanted Lion’s 2023 Holiday Gift Guide!🌟

Stories have an unparalleled ability to capture the beauty, the complexity, and the fullness of what it means to live a life—and whether it’s sharing your own memories or experiences, or sharing your favorite stories created by other artists, stories allow us to bridge the gap between self & other like nothing else.

We have gathered in our 2023 holiday guide a selection of books for your gift-giving consideration that we believe do just that, powerfully communicating through both text & art to weave together narratives that will engage your senses, stimulate your imagination, and warm your heart. The full guide is organized with thematic collections & perspectives, but we’d like to take a moment to shine a spotlight on the books that you won’t find anywhere else — which you can also find by clicking on the “ELB EXCLUSIVES” button. These include:

  • SIGNED copies from two New York Times Best Illustrated Award winners, with original doodles and exclusive prints

  • Your LAST CHANCE to collect books that will no longer be sold come 2024

  • BELOVED books that are available on our website—and out-of-stock everywhere else!

We are deeply grateful for each & every one of you who has picked up one of our books, immersed yourself in its pages, and opened up your mind, heart & soul to the story it's telling. This is how our books take on life in the world, and we thank the many of you who have supported us so well this year.

May your holiday season be filled with many meaningful moments of storytelling & connection!

‘TIS THE SEASON!

Enjoy the wonders of winter with this selection of seasonal reads. After all, it’s the most fitting time of year to…

Enjoy the snowfall
