By Beth Ferry, Andrew Joyner (Illustrator)
A lion roars against book bans to protect stories.
Julius, a young lion, discovers books are being banned at his local library. Fueled by passion, he unleashes a mighty roar to defend the stories that connect us all. In a world where books hold transformative ideas, Julius stands as a fierce protector, challenging the silence and inspiring others to join the fight. Will his courage be enough to save the stories that shape our world?
From New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry comes a moving picture book about a brave little lion who decides to speak out for stories by standing up to book banning. Libraries and lions have a history so long no one’s quite sure how it began–maybe because books were once rare and needed fierce protectors? Still, it’s been a very long time since lions had to roar in the name of books. But when young Julius finds out that books are being banned at his local library, he becomes so filled with emotion that he ROARS! Not all lions are librarians, but all librarians are lions in this inspiring tale of protecting the stories that connect us and defending books that hold ideas that can change the world.
