Ari Finds His Roar!

Ari is a lion cub, but he doesn't FEEL like a lion.

His paws are small. His voice is small. And his mane sticks up in all the wrong places. So when his class plans Show and Share, Ari is sure he has nothing special to bring.

Then Zayde tells him what his name means. Ari is Hebrew for "lion," and long, long ago, Jacob called his son Judah a lion cub: strong and brave. Ari tries his biggest roar... and out comes a squeak!

But Zayde knows a secret: a lion's roar isn't only loud. It's standing tall when you feel small, being kind when it's hard, and being proud of who you are. When Ari's turn comes, he discovers his roar was inside him all along.

Ari Finds His Roar is a warm, funny story about courage, kindness, and feeling proud to be Jewish.

Inside you'll find:

• A gentle story for ages 3 to 6 about confidence and Jewish identity
• A loving Zayde, Shabbat candles, and a family tradition to share
• A classroom of lovable friends: Bernie the bear, Gila the giraffe, Tova the toucan, and Noam the mouse
• A Note for Grown-Ups on the meaning of Ari's name and the Lion of Judah, with questions to talk about together

Perfect for bedtime, Shabbat, preschool and Hebrew school, and any child who has ever felt small.
