Description

This rhyming picture book is the real–life , rags to riches story of Luke, the circus lion.

Luke‘s story begins in the Ukraine, an unlikely home for a lion. Sold as a cub to a circus, Luke was kept in particularly squalid, cruel conditions and forced to perform in the Big Top, until one day he put his furry foot down. Lucky for Luke, cats have nine lives and wildlife warriors like Lionel the lion–hearted exist! Join Luke on his long journey to freedom...

This is the seventh book in the series, all revolving around rescue and conservation. Lulu believes children should grow up with conservation in their bones.

About the Author:

Linda Fellowes is a storyteller based in Cape Town, with a heart for animals and wanted to write books for a younger audience so that they could understand what was happening to animals. She has tackled the penguins that were hurt in the oil spill, sharks, a crazy baboon named Eric, and her latest offering is Ithemba (meaning hope) the Rhino, to tell about the plight of the rhinoceros that are currently being hunted so viciously in our country. She loves living by the sea. “I love writing books for this age group [between three and seven tears old] because you get to educate both the parent and the child in one go,” Fellowes said. “Children are sponges at this age and it is wonderful to be able to instil in them a love of conservation and wildlife.”
