Louie's Feeling Orange: A Story of Courage is a heartwarming children's picture book about feeling scared, finding courage, and learning to trust big emotions.
When Louie the Lion feels something swirling inside-a big, bold orange feeling-he isn't sure what it means. He feels nervous, unsure, and a little afraid. With the gentle guidance of Mebu and the warm orange glow of his magical lantern, Louie discovers that being brave doesn't mean you're never scared. It means you keep going, even when you are.
