The lion's mask

Autor: Margarita del Mazo

Ilustrador: Valdivia, Paloma

The step towards adulthood of the one to be called The king of the jungle is used in this album as an argument against clichés, conventionalisms and stereotypes. The story questions the lives ruled by what others expect from us, and warns of the great unhappiness that provokes the difficulty of being ourselves, something so simple and paradoxically so complicated.
