"Sometimes, the biggest adventures happen without even leaving the covers."
Papa Lion is ready to start the day, but Little Lion? Not so much. Little Lion just can't seem to find the energy to get out of bed this morning. But Papa Lion isn't giving up! If Little Lion won't go to the world, Papa Lion will bring the world to him.
What follows is a delightfully wild morning as Papa Lion moves entire activities right onto the bedspread—from a full-diner breakfast to a high-energy soccer game and even a surprise party for Grandma! Through all the silliness and "wild" efforts, this story explores the gentle side of mental health and the importance of listening to our bodies.
Created by the award-winning duo Darren Farrell and Maya Tatsukawa, Lion in Bed is a heartwarming reminder that while life is busy, sometimes a simple cuddle is the most important thing on the to-do list.
