A lion family navigates their fears of going to the doctor in this adorable, hilariously relatable companion to Lion Needs a Haircut

Little lion Luka is NOT worried about a visit to the doctor. Heâs NOT scared of getting a shot. And heâs definitely NOT a little lion anymore. R-O-A-R!
His younger sister, Lulu, might be nervous for her first checkupâbut no need to worry, big brother is here to set a brave example. Step by step, he walks her through what will happen, offering encouragement and holding her hand. But when itâs his turn, on second thought, maybe he doesnât need to see Dr. Brown today; heâs feeling perfectly fine, after all.
This witty, tender story follows two siblings sharing a universal experience together, giving each other courage and realizing that a trip to the doctorâs office isnât so bad.

      Preschool-Grade 1 In this charming follow-up to Lion Needs a Haircut (2020), Daddy Lion hesitantly tells cubs Luka and Lulu that it's time to visit the doctor for a checkup. Luka, as the older sibling, explains what Lulu can expect during her first visit--having the doctor listen to her heart with stethoscope, getting measured, and (gulp!) getting a shot. Their appointment goes smoothly until Dr. Brown arrives with their shots, triggering Luka's own fear and thoughts of escape, until he remembers he needs to be brave for Lulu. He takes his shot like a champ, and Lulu models his behavior, both of them earning stickers from Dr. Brown for being such good patients. Yum's sweet illustrations are softly rendered in colored pencils, and their childlike quality is a perfect match for the story. It strikes a reassuring tone for little ones anxious about doctor visits or getting shots ("They keep you from getting sick! . . . [And] you get a really nice sticker."), while also demonstrating a loving sibling relationship.
