Every parent can relate to this heart-warming
picture book about getting your first haircut.
Children either love or hate
going to get their haircut and Little lion is no exception. There is nothing
wrong with his mane, it is perfectly fine.
Little lion knows lions should not be scared of
anything or anyone. But the thought of getting his mane cut or even trimmed
makes him feel anxious and scared.
What will he look like, will he even still
look like a fierce lion cub?
Little lion and his father debate his need for a
haircut. His father tries every approach to convince his son the visit to the
barbers is nothing to worry about. Running out of ideas, he realises there must
be another way to make this work. That is until Little lion makes the statement
he just wants to look like Dad, with his mane all scruffy and scary.
Now the tables are turned, who will win this battle
of wills. Little lion thinks he has won the argument as he knows his father
does not believe his mane needs a trim. But will his father convince Little
lion to get a haircut after all?
Author and illustrator Hyewon Yum has captured this
battle of wills that every parent experiences whether it is over haircuts,
brushing their teeth or going to bed. The illustrations show every nuance of
emotion and tactic that is employed, which will leave the reader smiling and blessed with ideas.
