From a New York Times bestselling author, this heartwarming and richly illustrated story of love between a father and son lion is the perfect read aloud for Father's Day and beyond.
Kito wants to be just like his papa, the protector of the pride. Throughout a day and night on the savanna, the cub imitates the way his father roars, swings his tail, shakes his head, and pounces. Kito may be too little to catch a wildebeest, but he is brave enough to succeed in his own hunt. Someday he will be King, just like Papa! With its rhythmic text, dramatic moments on the African plain, and playful times for cub and papa, this is the perfect book for parents to share with their own littlest cubs.Author Biography
