Cecil's Pride: The True Story of a Lion King (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798337593395)

Over the past twenty years, the Hatkoff family- father Craig and daughters Juliana and Isabella- have brought to life the true stories of the world's most famous animal stories. Cecil's Pride is latest installment of the beloved Turtle Pond Collection originally published by Scholastic Books. The Collection includes the amazing true stories of Owen and Mzee, Winter the Dolphin, Knut the Polar Bear, and now Cecil the Lion. These incredible real-life stories highlight the resilience of young animals beset by traumas and facing challenges and have inspired millions of readers-young and old-across the globe.

What started out as a family hobby has evolved into a phenomenon in the publishing business revitalizing the non-fiction picture book category. The eleven-book Turtle Pond Collection began after Isabella saw a picture in the newspaper of a baby hippo (Owen) snuggling with a 130-year-old giant tortoise (Mzee) and wanted to share the story. This led to the publication by Scholastic of Owen and Mzee: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship; its sequel Owen and Mzee: The Language of Friendship, a New York Times best-seller; Knut the Polar Bear; Dolphin's Tail feature Winter the Dolphin; its sequel, Hope for Winter; Leo the Snow Leopard; Panda Patrol; Lola and Tiva; Looking for Miza; Junior Buddy the Jaguar from Belize and now, Cecil's Pride.
