Product Description
At night while his village sleeps, young Joseph hears a lion's roar thunderclap across the wide East African Savannah. Joseph's father tells him that it is not the right time to go and meet the lion, but when Joseph sees the lion racing towards him, his great head streaming with gold and his paws as big as drums, a special friendship begins. Every noontime Joseph visits the lion's den. He sleeps beside the lion, meets the lioness, and plays with the young cubs. Then one day, traders come looking for lion cubs and an anxious fear awakens in Joseph: he suspects that his father has betrayed the lions. This beautiful father/son tale explores an unusual friendship and a child's rite of passage. The Time of the Lion creates a metaphor for the magic of childhood, a time when fantasy is reality, and lions are our friends. The beautiful artwork is the perfect compliment to this tale, capturing the power and mystery of the African Savannah.

Life Story October 29, 2008
This one is constantly in the hands of my very quiet students. They find it very comforting to see that animals live in a world very much like theirs.
A tale of africa:fathers;sons and what is beyond words.. March 29, 2004
this beautiful book seeks to tell a lesson of loyalty and trust..when a lie is more honest than the truth and when all things have a time and place. This story is surprising in its lesson and one truly wonderful book. The illustrations are strong powerful and loving,an odd combination. This is a book well worth a read. An african american treasure
