Do you ever feel like there's a wild animal inside you somewhere? Saira watches a nature documentary and feels a kinship with the wild, swimming, running, hunting, roaring tigers she learns about on the screen. Excited about her new identity, Saira is not afraid to prowl the classroom and tell her classmates all about her new wild personality. Some kids are skeptical, but Saira doesn't care . . . and soon, the whole class is roaring! TIGER! is a story about feeling confident and trusting yourself. |
