Lino – The Lion Who Didn’t Want to Roar

is a gentle, heartfelt and inspiring story about inner strength, self-confidence and the quiet courage that lives inside every child. This book invites young readers to discover that there is not only one way to be brave, and that true strength is often found in calmness, sensitivity and kindness.

Lino is not like the other lions. While the young lions around him learn to roar loudly and proudly, Lino simply… cannot. Or maybe he doesn’t want to. Every time he tries to roar, no mighty sound escapes his mouth. Instead, only a soft, timid breath comes out. Other animals sometimes laugh or misunderstand him, not realizing that Lino carries a different kind of strength, one that is quiet but deeply meaningful.

One day, in a noisy and hectic savannah, Lino decides to go on a journey to find out what is wrong with him. Is he missing courage? Is he not a real lion? Or is his strength simply somewhere else? Along his path, he meets several animals who each teach him something important: that the most powerful voice is not always the loudest one, but the one that speaks from the heart.

Lino gradually discovers that gentleness is a form of strength, that kindness can roar louder than any sound, and that courage is not defined by volume but by authenticity. He realizes he doesn’t need to look or act like the others to be a true lion. He only needs to be himself. And with this discovery, he begins to see that his difference is what makes him unique and strong.

This story shines a warm light on essential themes for children: self-acceptance, sensitivity, emotional strength, and embracing individuality.
