What to expect

A funny rhyming story about a meek little Mouse who sets out on a journey to find his roar.

In a dry dusty place where the sand sparkled gold, stood a mighty flat rock - all craggy and old. And under that rock in a tinyful house, lived the littlest, quietest, meekest brown mouse.

Fed up of being ignored by the other animals, Mouse wishes he could roar like Lion. But, as he discovers, even the biggest, bossiest people are scared sometimes . . . and even the smallest creatures can have the heart of a lion!

A modern classic, The Lion Inside has sold over 200,000 copies in the UK alone and been translated into over 30 languages worldwide.

Critics Review

A fantastic collaboration between author and illustrator, it's utterly charming [...] and has a wonderful rhythm to keep even the most wriggly of book-sceptics sitting down. Rachel Bright and Jim Field [...] are one of the best pairings working together today.
