About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the complexities of group dynamics or feeling overwhelmed by a perceived imbalance of power in their social circle. As the concluding chapter of the first Bravelands arc, this story examines the heavy burden of leadership and the necessity of collective action against a formidable bully. Through the eyes of a lion, an elephant, and a baboon, children explore how diverse perspectives must align to achieve justice for the community. While the setting is an epic savanna fantasy, the emotional core focuses on the courage to risk one's personal safety for the greater good. It provides a safe, metaphorical space to discuss concepts of fairness, sacrifice, and the importance of standing up for others. Due to some intense animal combat and themes of loss, it is best suited for mature middle-grade readers who enjoy high-stakes adventure and are ready to grapple with the reality that doing the right thing often comes with a cost.
