The Lion Who Wanted to Love

Deep in the African heartland
way out on the hot sunny plains,
There lived a small lion who didn’t fit in
And Leo was this lion’s name.
Now lions are usually fierce
And lions are meant to be strong,
But Leo just wanted to love everybody
And play with his friends all day long.

“This is an endearing story, with its well-known theme of love conquering all.”
All Leo wants is to love and hug his fellow animal friends, not bite them! But in order to stay in the pride with the other lions, his mother tells him that he has to learn to hunt. Poor Leo, he just can’t hurt his fellow animals, but he soon discovers that a little kindness brings new friends who appreciate his love . . .
