About This Story
A little lion’s fear of the dark provides the starting point for a story about courage, friendship and discovering the night. Readers can talk about what feels unfamiliar without expecting fear to disappear immediately.
Read this story together at your child’s pace. The pictures and the character’s choices can be a starting point for noticing feelings and asking questions, rather than searching for a correct response. A child may want to talk, point to an illustration or simply listen. Leave room for their own interpretation, and return to a favourite moment if they wish. The suggested age range and themes help you choose a book; they do not set a test for how a child should understand or respond to the story.
