The Lion or the Mouse?

Reach for this book when your child feels small, powerless, or frustrated by the rules of the adult world. It is the perfect choice for a child who needs to understand that kindness is a form of strength and that everyone, regardless of their size or status, has something vital to offer. This retelling of Aesop's classic fable by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison and her son Slade breathes new life into the story of the mighty lion and the tiny mouse. Through rhythmic prose and vibrant illustrations, it explores themes of empathy, mutual respect, and the unexpected ways we can help one another. Suitable for children aged 4 to 9, it serves as a beautiful reminder that a person's worth is not measured by their physical stature, but by the size of their heart and their willingness to act when others are in need.
