Description

From the illustrator of Bob Dylans If Not for You comes a wildly cute, encouraging picture book about a lovable lion who learns to be brave and that youre never too small to make a difference.

Lions are BIG and theyre BRAVE, we all know that.
But not Little Lion: hes a fraidy-cat!
Hes afraid of his shadow and noises at night,
even sounds in the day will give him a fright.

Little Lion and his friend Bird often hide in the woods, watching the Big Lions play from afar. Someday well be big, with no fears at all, he says, hoping that hell outgrow his small stature and finally have courage. But when his feathered friend gets into a scary situation and the other lions are just too big to help, Little Lion will have to face his fears and discover that maybe hes a little bit courageous after all!

Reviews

Walkers jaunty, gentle rhymes convey both Little Lions timid nature and his triumphant growth. Soft pencil and acrylic illustrations, relying heavily on muted greens, browns, and oranges, create a cozy environment perfect for this roly-poly lion to finally unleash his roar. -- Kirkus Reviews * 12/1/22 *
