About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by a sibling's success or is struggling to find a hobby they can call their own. It is a perfect choice for the child who easily gives up when things do not come naturally at first. The story follows Orla, a young girl who feels clumsy and untalented compared to her sister, until a magical lion cub named Flame appears to help her find her confidence in photography. This gentle chapter book balances relatable domestic frustrations with a touch of magic. It validates the common sting of sibling rivalry while modeling how a little persistence and a change in perspective can unlock hidden talents. It is highly appropriate for early elementary readers who are transitioning into longer stories and need a narrative that emphasizes self worth and the joy of creativity over the pressure of perfection.
