About the book
The Lion Cub and the Gazelle is a gentle, sensory-aware children’s story that explores teasing, power, and emotional regulation through animal characters in a school setting.
Told from the lion cub’s point of view, the story follows moments of confusion, self-doubt, reflection, and growth, showing how true strength can be calm, restrained, and kind.
Designed to support emotional literacy without calling anyone out, the book includes textures, music, narration, and QR-linked audio experiences, making it suitable for classroom use, SEN settings, and shared reading at home.
