For World Book Day the children in Hazel class read the book How To Be A Lion by Ed Vere.

The book taught the children the importance of being true to yourself, mindfulness, and standing by your friends. In the book they met Leonard, a lion, and his best friend Marianne, a duck.

Leonard and Marianne have a happy life together--talking, playing, writing poems, and making wishes, But one day, a pack of bullies questions whether it's right for a lion and a duck to be friends. Leonard soon learns there are many ways to be a lion, and many ways to be a friend, and that sometimes finding just the right words can change the world.

During the day the children created fact files about lions, made a zig-zag books to retell the story in their own words and even followed a tutorial on how to draw Leonard.
