Title: A Lion’s Mane

Low self-esteem in both children and adults can stem from a lessened sense of self. Our identities are forever changing as we experience life. By representing global words and diverse images in literature, we gain a better understanding of our global world.
In this beautifully illustrated story, young readers journey to cultures around the world to explore the meaning of the dastaar, or turban of the Sikhs. Allusive words placed within a vibrant red dastaar help promote our connections as global citizens and encourage dialogue around issues of identity and kinship. A Lion's Mane promises to be a staple on the shelves of all young visionaries. |
