When a good-natured lion, king of all the animals, sees his reflection in a pool of water for the first time, he gasps at the fierce creature staring back at him and is too frightened to drink – until, finally, he overcomes his fear.
Cuando un león bondadoso, rey de todos los animales, ve su reflejo en un charco de agua por primera vez, jadea con miedo ante la fiera criatura que lo mira fijamente, y está demasiado asustado para beber, hasta que, finalmente, supera su temor.
Children learn through the lion how to deal positively with the fears and inhibitions that so often arise from situations they may not yet understand. Originally told by the 13th-century Sufi poet Jalaluddin Rumi, The Lion Who Saw Himself in the Water is one of a series of teaching stories that were collected by Idries Shah and that have been used in the East for hundreds of years as educational instruments to help children understand life. Ingrid Rodriguez's beautiful illustrations bring this children’s version to life with warmth, humor and a distinctive richness of detail.

Las hermosas ilustraciones de Ingrid Rodríguez dan vida a esta versión infantil con calidez, humor y una distintiva riqueza de detalles.
