Leo is a lion with a little secret—he's terrified of roaring. While other lions shake the trees with thunderous growls, Leo's roar comes out as squeaks, hiccups, and wheezes. The jungle animals chuckle kindly, but poor Leo feels small and ashamed.
With the help of his colorful friends—Tiko the encouraging toucan, Zara the dramatic zebra, Ellie the wise elephant, Bongo the musical monkey, and even a choir of crocodiles—Leo tries every silly trick to fix his roar. He hangs upside down, sings with frogs, and even practices at "Roaring School." Nothing works.
But when a sly and dangerous snake named Slyther slithers into the jungle, threatening everyone, Leo faces the biggest challenge of his life. In the heat of the moment, he discovers that his roar doesn't need to sound like anyone else's—it just needs to be his.
The Lion Who Was Afraid of Roaring is a funny, heartwarming story about courage, self-acceptance, and the power of friendship. Children will laugh at Leo's squeaky attempts, cheer for him in his moment of bravery, and learn an unforgettable lesson: being different is what makes you special.
