When a boy is scared to sleep alone, he learns he has a special secret to conquer his fear. Heartfelt storytelling paired with vibrant illustrations convey a valuable lesson for all children in this teacher and psychologist recommended picture book.

Dennis has moved to a new home and is afraid to sleep alone in his room. His mother tries to explain that there's a fierce lion of survival and courage who lives in his heart, but Dennis doesn't see matters this way, and questions that concept.

Where is the lion, if he can't see it?

Will the lion be with him all the time and everywhere he goes?

Does Mommy have a lion in her heart?

Dennis learns that there will always be times when we are frightened or nervous: at school or when we try something for the first time...or when we are orbiting to space! But the brave lion is inside all of our hearts, giving us the courage to conquer our fears.

Makes a thoughtful holiday gift for children ages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and up. Great for bedtime, confidence building, classroom discussions and improving children's reading skills.
