The Tigon and The Liger by Keilly Swift
Tyler the tigon has never fit in. Neither a tiger like his dad nor a lion like his mum, poor Tyler stands out like a sore thumb. Taunted and teased, he flees into the jungles with the weight of the world on his shoulders. But who will he find there? A playful story in rhyming verse about learning to love the skin you're in.
'The Tigon and the Liger is destined to become a new classic and is a book every child should grow up reading' - Nicky Cox MBE, First News; 'The words, the narrative and pictures make this book a fantastic read! Plus such a relevant issue to teach younger children about being unique and comfortable with who they are!' - Scott Chudley, Deputy Head Teacher, Portway Primary School, Newham; 'This book is beautiful, the illustrations exquisite, but more than that, the key message about being comfortable in your own skin is important and powerful and it will no doubt become a favourite for children, parents, friends, grandparents, uncles, aunts, godparents and anyone else who wants children to appreciate each other's, and their own, differences.' - Lucy Campbell, award-winning family blogger; 'The appealing illustrations and important message of this book make it an essential choice for the primary classroom.' - Books for Topics; 'This is an important book with an important message.' - Let Them Be Small, parenting blog; 'This is a lovely rhyming tale with a good rhythm, making it a pleasure to read. The last double-page is charming, with a list of unusual creatures and illustrations to match, where the final sentence really involves the child in the story, making the book personal to them. It would help a child who may be finding it hard to make friends, or a child who feels different, for whatever reason.' - Little Parachutes library; 'Told in rhyme, The Tigon and the Liger is a wonderful story about being comfortable with who you are and being happy to be different... A pur-fect story for this important week!' - North Somerset Teachers' Book Award blog
