When you're having friendship troubles, a pet lion could be the perfect antidote!

Friendship troubles are hard! Especially when your best friends start leaving you out of their fun.

But this little girl knows what would make everything better—a lion! If her best friend was a lion, they could go to the park without an adult, do amazing dunks on the basketball court, and get free ice cream whenever they want. Everyone would be jealous—especially those other friends.

A lion would definitely fix things, right?

Imagining and drawing some of their adventures help her work through her big feelings. And it turns out that sometimes, problems get better with a little time, creativity, and being yourself.
