Review: 

This is a beautiful book that encourages children to be everything they can be but also touches on the importance of staying other our grown up and not walking off. It’s something I’m always reminding my little ones in work and this book is a perfect find. 

This illustrations in the book are gorgeous- there is so much to see and the detail is wonderful. I love the change in colour and tone and the tone of the book changes. It mirrors the story perfectly.

I’m always looking for new books to add to my collection that are both fun to read and have a helpful message and this ticks both those boxes. 

Summary: 

The city roared like a jungle.

Leonie roared back at the city.

She shook her mane and swished her tail.

She was a lion girl.

 

Leonie and her mother are off to the big city!

Inspired by the people, sights and sounds, Leonie can't wait to discover it all.

Her mother tells her to stay close, but there's SO much to see.

And surely nothing can scare a brave lion girl, can it?

 

A wild, spirited tale of imagination and self-belief, beautifully brought to life by Fiona Woodcock.
