"Learn from the animals and live your best life"
October 2021 Book of the Month
A guide to being the best – and happiest – person you can possibly be, this book takes a highly original approach and advises readers to learn lessons from animals. Author Carlie Sorosiak has gathered lots of examples of animal behaviour that demonstrate the importance of being yourself, of being brave, finding friends, being resilient. These range from meerkats who stop bullying and stand up for one another to wombats who shared their burrows with other animals during Australia’s bushfires.
A particularly effective example is that of a racoon stuck in a storm drain for hours before eventually being released – the moral: all this will pass. It’s quirky, absorbing and enticingly do-able while Sorosiak’s cheerful, positive approach sets the perfect tone. Full of warmth and wisdom, this is a book to recommend to stressed young people.
Can a wombat offer us life lessons on kindness? Can we possibly learn bravery from the meekest of hedgehogs? The answers to these questions and many others can be found in the pages of this remarkable, beautifully-illustrated book, as we look to the natural world to show us humans the way.

Roar Like a Lion is the perfect book to help children find their happiness and to reflect on their lives. I would recommend it to any KS2 child!
Roar Like a Lion is a great book to help children find their happiness and finding good friends for each other by comparing situations to how animals deal with those situations. The book was nice to read and has a lot of illustrations with it too. I didn't have a favourite part as I found the whole book fun and interesting to read. I would recommend this book to people who like animals and people who need some time to reflect on themselves.... Read Full Review
Roar like a lion helps children to understand and recognise their feelings and emotions and helps show you ways to deal with them. It has helped me think of ways to improve my confidence. It helps you look at life in a positive way.
I really enjoyed reading Roar like a Lion. We read bits of it together as a family and talked about the different stories and our own experiences. I think this is a really good book for explaining lots of feelings and helping to understand them while comparing them with animal stories.... Read Full Review
