Synopsis

A funny rhyming story about a meek little Mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar.

In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock - all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.

Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes . . . and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!

A modern classic, The Lion Inside has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone and been translated into over 30 languages worldwide.

*warning spoilers* As someone who is currently very small, I really resonated with the mouse in this story. One of my favourite things to do is roar at people so I really understood why he was trying to find his own roar. Some valuable lessons were learnt, and I now know that I do not need to be loud......more
