Authored by J. B. Sharma and illustrated by Aarya Praharaj, this charming animal fable explores themes of unlikely friendship, courage, and mutual help. The story revolves around the mighty lion and a small hedgehog (porcupine/spiny rodent), demonstrating that size does not measure one’s worth or ability to help others in times of crisis. With striking artistic illustrations and clear prose, it imparts essential moral values regarding empathy, humility, and kindness to young readers.
