We Are Lions!

Jens Mattsson

The narrator and his big brother are biracial siblings who pretend to be lions and share wild adventures. The older brother becomes sick. His illness involves hospitalization and hair loss, yet their imagined adventures continue. Playing lions is the game they share. The older brother’s illness changes the circumstances of that play. Unusual mixed-media illustrations move between savanna scenes and their everyday life.
