A bestselling story about confidence, self-esteem, and a shy 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.

Adorable Book About Unlikely Friends
I loved this adorable book about a lonely, timid mouse and the king of the jungle.The little brown mouse feels invisible because he is so small and so quiet that no one ever hears him. They do though hear the lion who sits on a rock far on the top of the mountain.One night the lonely mouse decides he needs to know learn how to roar. He knows exactly who should teach him. When he visits the lion the tables turn and it's the little, mouse who is finally heard.You never know where you next best friend is coming from so be kind to everyone.The story is adorable. The graphics especially of the sweet, big eyed mouse are wonderful. Great collaboration.

I’m a preschool teacher and I like to use this book throughout the year. The illustrations are beautiful. Through the use of the main characters, a lion and a mouse; children learn about fears, strengths & weaknesses, tolerance, acceptance and friendship.
The dialogue is simple and its messages are clear for young ones to comprehend.

At first we thought it might be a bit more than our 2 year old twin grandsons could absorb, but we were mistaken! They love the story and the pictures are so wonderful that they make up side stories based on other things in the pictures. The 2 and 5 year old really enjoy this book too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finding One's Inner Hero
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017
Verified Purchase
Inside of each of us lives an Inner Lion. Sometimes he is dormant but he is always there waiting for us to tap into our powerful potential. Even adults often struggle to remember this “hero within” so it is vital for us to help children discover and embrace their Inner Lion. This hero exists in all of us regardless of our stature or age. But he must compete with the other voices inside our heads-the ones who broadcast, fear, self-doubt, timidity and despair

The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright and illustrated by Jim Field brilliantly demonstrates that the most powerful person in my life is me. It also hammers home the truism “Never judge a book by its cover.” So often the face we present to the world hides our genuine selves, the selves that our both brave and fearful, confident and cautious.

When we (both kids and adults) make judgments about others based on externals, we overlook the opportunity to connect with the whole person and all of us lose the chance to be genuine. Ironically, we often treat ourselves no better and criticize ourselves with the same harsh judgment!

Fields’ fabulous illustrations carry a lot of the story’s message. The difference in size between the tiny mouse and the huge lion reinforces the immensity of the mouse’s decision to confront the lion. By connecting to his Inner Lion he awoke the bravery needed to accomplish his goal. Taken from the lion’s perspective, the reader experiences the other side of the equation. Physical size doesn’t protect one from fear. Courage does. Courage acknowledges fear and still chooses to act.

Adoption-attuned Lens: All kids strive to find their niche in school, their neighborhoods, etc. Adoptees also must learn to find their comfort spot in their new families. Sometimes they can feel as mismatched and powerless as this little mouse when he faced the roaring lion. This story invites readers to consider that beyond stature and externals, each of us has important skills and gifts to contribute, fears to overcome, and opportunities to grow. Each family member benefits from being part of the larger whole. Diversity enriches families. And classrooms, neighborhoods and communities. --Gayle H. Swift, "ABC, Adoption & Me"
