A delightful story about a young boy with an imaginative mind and his loving family, brought to life by the talented duo of Swapna Haddow, an award-winning author, and Dapo Adeola, a bestselling artist.

The protagonist of the tale is a curious and imaginative boy, who often wonders about the nature of his mother. He questions whether she is a lioness, as she possesses remarkable qualities such as her love for her cubs, her incredible speed, and her ability to catch him in a single pounce for affectionate cuddles and kisses. The boy marvels at her loud, proud roar when he engages in football games, convinced that his mother must be a lioness.

However, the boy's observations go beyond mere physical characteristics. He notices that his mother always paws his hair, just like the lionesses in the pride. This further reinforces his belief that she is indeed a lioness. But occasionally, especially when her young ones are upset or scared, a warm, protective lioness embrace is the perfect remedy to comfort them.
