Description

Lion Needs a Shot follows little lion Luka, who insists he's not worried about a visit to the doctor. He's not scared of getting a shot, and he's definitely not a little lion anymore. R-O-A-R!

His younger sister, Lulu, might be nervous for her first checkup, but there's no need to worry. Big brother Luka is ready to set a brave example. Step by step, he walks her through what will happen, offering encouragement and holding her hand.

However, when it's Luka's turn, on second thought, maybe he doesn't need to see Dr. Brown today; he's feeling perfectly fine, after all.

This witty and tender story follows two siblings sharing a universal experience together, giving each other courage and realising that a trip to the doctor's office isn't so bad.
