Produktbeschreibung

Different, therefore bullied? We are all different - even in our appearance. Our uniqueness should be celebrated. Little boy Leo, the main character, is very short and has a cleft lip. That's why the children from his village, including his cousin, ridicule him - up until Leo's good heart and brevity win him a lion as a friend and silence the bullies. This story is a powerful reminder that children with physical differences are strong and resilient, and they, as we all do, thrive among good friends.

Autorenporträt

A long time ago Marin was a child. He was one year old when his father passed away. His mother remarried and Marin was raised by his loving (but strict!) grandparents. He learned to read and write long before he went to school. Books became his imaginary parents and his fictional friends.Marin studied nuclear physics, art, and literature. He owned an advertising agency for many years.Oh, a few more things: he does not drive, he does not drink carbonated beverages, he has never consumed food from fast-food restaurants, he does not have a mobile phone, he has never used legal or illegal drugs, and he has never visited his GP (much to the disapproval of his wife). He started his small publishing house FONTREAL (children's picture books) in 2016. Marin lives with his wife and two children on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean - in St. John's, NL, Canada.
