A Most Important Lesson The Big Cats' Deal is a story about what extreme circumstances can do to bring characters together, despite their differences. When a yearlong drought threatens the survival of the African savannah's wildlife, the lions, leopards and cheetahs, traditional enemies, band together to search for food and water. But because the region's animals have long moved on, no food can be found. That is, however, until the cats discover a pack of hyenas with a stash of meat inside an abandoned truck in the wilderness. What follows is a wonderful example of cooperation and mutual respect. In this delightful story, children learn not to pre-judge or make fun of others, and instead learn to work together to achieve a common goal.

Makena is a beautiful leopard, but very different from any other leopard. While her parents have many ambitions and desires for her, Makena is her own leopard and has very clear ideas of who she is and what she wants to do. After a few adventures, Makena returns home, a success in her own way, and above all, a happy leopard. Her parents quickly learn that children do not always become who they want them to be. A story about courage, authenticity and integrity, this book will appeal to young children and to their parents alike.
