Different, therefore bullied? We are all different - even in our appearance. Our uniqueness should be celebrated. Little boy Leo, the main character, is very short and has a cleft lip. That's why the children from his village, including his cousin, ridicule him - up until Leo's good heart and brevity win him a lion as a friend and silence the bullies. This story is a powerful reminder that children with physical differences are strong and resilient, and they, as we all do, thrive among good friends.
