NOW AVAILABLE - The Hungry Lion

The Hungry Lion is a charming and rhyming tale of two lions. 'Art' leads a predictable, stagnant, and safe life in a city zoo, while his counterpart, 'Leo,' spends each active day in a faraway jungle, facing fears, uncertainty, and all the danger that life entails. Philosopher and historian, Z.S. Ahmed, takes parents and children on a poetic journey, highlighting the pitfalls of too much 'comfort and ease' as well as the, often hidden, benefits of fear, discomfort, and doing hard things.

This beautifully illustrated rhyming children's tale is sure to become your - and your child's - favorite bedtime story.

NOW AVAILABLE - Why Not You?

Parents and children, alike, will love this beautifully illustrated and thought-provoking rhyming book as it highlights the differences between the safe & predictable 'common road' and the exciting, less-travelled 'passionate path' - which can be more lonely & difficult at times, but so much more exciting and rewarding for those who are bold enough to travel it.

This book is ideal for ages 0-12 - and for parents who encourage their children to dream big and pursue their passions in life.
