Description
If I Were a Lion follows the journey of different children as they express admiration for various lion traits, wishing they had the same courage, curiosity, lounging ability, or terrific smile that lions do.
But, with the wishing comes the realisation that those same abilities are the ones they already have. Everyone can be a lion; everyone is fierce and free to be themselves!
