Roar Like A Lion by Carlie Sorosiak

4.0

This is such an uplifting children's book. It encourages the reader to take a leaf out of an animals book and learn how to embrace their own individuality and have a positive and resilient outlook on life and be 'the best 'you' you can be!'

Animals can give us excellent advice and this book teaches us some important things we can learn from observing them.
There are chapters on 'finding your inner confidence', 'being yourself and 'finding resilience '

There are hundreds of examples through the book of animals doing all of these things. For example a Wallace flying frog is at most 10cm long but jumps up to fifteen metres way up in the jungle canopy. They don't think about falling...they just go for it!

The book is written in such a fun and humorous way and there are fantastic little diagrams and illustrations throughout making it very easy to read and dip into.

As well as learning how to develop important life skills we also learnt so many fantastic facts about a wide range of animals through reading this book.

This would be a very useful book to have in school libraries and classrooms promoting positive mental health.
