The cub without a mane is a children's empowerment story book. It is based on a lion cub who's pride and possession is his wild curly mane and of course his magnificent roar. Cub falls poorly and comes to learn that he has leukaemia which causes him to feel rather unwell. Whilst the doctors have him on the mend cub loses his head of curly locks and worries that he won't be liked by his friends...and most importantly to him be able to roar anymore.
