About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels small, overlooked, or worried that they do not possess the 'natural' talents required for a new activity. It is the perfect antidote to the pressure of performance, offering a humorous look at a young boy who enrolls in a seven step program to become a fierce lion despite his distinctly un-lion-like appearance. Through a series of silly challenges like roaring and pouncing, the story explores themes of perseverance and finding one's unique inner strength. Appropriate for preschoolers and early elementary students, Lion Lessons normalizes the awkwardness of being a beginner. Parents will appreciate the clever, minimalist illustrations and the gentle message that being 'brave' does not always mean being the loudest or the scariest. It is an ideal choice for building self-confidence in a child who marches to the beat of their own drum while navigating the expectations of others.
