While wandering behind the scenes at the Zamar Circus, Juliette meets a caged lion in his last week at work before being retired to the Zoo. His name is Romeo, and the two of them were made to get along! But Romeo is old, and very tired. He tells Juliette all about why a circus life far from Africa’s wild savannah isn’t as fun as she’d imagined…
A large-format picture book with lively, colorful illustrations that invites readers on a voyage; a poetic text partway between dream and reality; a story that raises children’s awareness of animal exploitation in circuses and the need to protect endangered species.
