Book Summary

    To grow up to be big, little lions have to learn survival skills, but the cub Sangu didn’t want to listen to Papa and Mama’s lessons.  Getting lost while escaping a charging rhino, Sangu learned how unprepared he really was to be out on his own.  Befriended by some kind gazelles, Sangu didn’t have the slightest idea as to what a lion should be.  Sangu finally learned some valuable lessons—the hard way.
    In a powerful story with superb illustrations, Sommer teaches children to be assertive, to value learning, to respect their parents, and to respect themselves for who they are.
