Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Andrew the lion and Caiti the catfish fell in love at first sight. It might not be what you expect, but love doesn't have a species. That is never truer than when their son Leeo is born. A lion from the waist up with a catfish tail from the waist down, Leeo can swim in the ocean or visit his lion cub cousins on land. The problem is, while he can exist in both worlds, he never quite feels like he's part of either. Luckily for Leeo, however, he has some pretty great friends. Cousin Caitryn the catfish reminds the other catfish kids how smart Leeo is for using a hollow reed so he can swim and breathe underwater. His lion cub cousin Kim gets the other cubs to turn a wooden cart into a kind of wheelchair so Leeo can run with them. But it isn't until he gives the sea lions a lesson in respect and kindness that Leeo truly accepts himself. And when a storm puts his catfish friends in peril and pirates kidnap Kim, it will take a little luck, a little courage, and a lot of teamwork if Leeo is going to be able to rescue them all and send the pirates on their way. This is a tale about being different, perseverance, learning self esteem and self reliance, and in turn, loving yourself. An inspiring tale of a lion cub with a fish's tail, Dee Kasarda's debut is a heartwarming reminder to never judge a book by its cover. It imparts valuable life lessons on bullying, teasing, and most importantly the need for all of us to stand up for ourselves. As educational as it is entertaining, Someone Special: A Lion's Tale is an empowering adventure filled with unbridled imagination and vivid imagery as it teaches your child the importance of accepting others as they are.
