In sharing this story, I hope not only to entertain but also to provide a tool for parents to discuss  gratitude  and  loyalty  with their children. Success is often measured by what we acquire, but in this book, the intention was to show young readers that true success is found in how we repay kindness and remain faithful to those who support us. Whether it's a "lioness" in our own lives or a friend on the playground, we all have the power to be loyal and thankful.
