When Little Lion plays long jump with Rabbit or jumps rope with Duck, it never feels fair—Little Lion just can’t win. “It’s not fair!” he cries. Nothing seems fair at all.
Things come to a head at snack time, when Little Lion bursts into tears after receiving just one biscuit—the same size as the ones given to much smaller animals. What is fairness, anyway? And how can Little Lion begin to make sense of it?
It’s Not Fair! gently introduces children to the concept of fairness, helping them navigate feelings of frustration, comparison, and conflict. Kids often wonder why things don’t feel equal. This story offers a thoughtful starting point for those conversations. Through Little Lion’s experiences with his classmates, children are invited to reflect on fairness in different situations, making it a perfect read-aloud for parents, caregivers, and educators alike.
