From the UK bestselling author of I, Cosmo comes an inspirational guide to living your best life -- with a wild twist. Every animal is wonderful at being themselves, and if we're observant, we can let them teach us how to be our kindest, bravest, best selves as well.Humans are a unique species, but still very much a part of the animal kingdom. We dream like cats, grieve like whales, bond like barn owls. In Roar Like a Lion, you'll find advice from some of the wisest creatures on Earth: Dogs who exhibit mindfulness. Penguins who pick perfect pebbles and refuse to care about what other penguins think. Every animal illustrates how they thrive, offering a model of how you might choose to thrive too. If we're willing to listen -- to follow the pawprints that lead us to that kinder, braver, more courageous way of life.

Katie Walker's stylish illustrations build a real partnership between the words and pictures. A stunning package that can make a real difference in children's lives, Roar Like a Lion sparkles with wit, wisdom and warmth.
