About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with big, unruly impulses or when you are navigating the transition of a new, 'wild' personality entering the home. It is a perfect choice for teaching that even the most intimidating behaviors can be reshaped through steady patience rather than force. Miss Lollipop is a gentle woman with a house full of pets who decides to take in a fierce, rowdy lion. Rather than being scared, she uses clear boundaries and kind persistence to teach the lion how to behave. It is an excellent metaphor for the power of consistent expectations and the idea that being 'good' is a skill that can be learned with the right support. Ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to regulate their own 'inner lions.'
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. There are no heavy themes of trauma or loss, though the lion’s initial aggression is a stand-in for lack of socialization or emotional dysregulation. The resolution is hopeful and reinforces the security of boundaries.
