About the importance of being oneself

The Tiger Of Turkestan is a delightfully written, vividly illustrated picture book by Nonny Hogrogian about a young tiger who receives lasting words of wisdom from his grandmother before she leaves this world for her place of rest: "In this life, never do as others do! Either do nothing - just hunt and eat, as other tigers do - or do something nobody else does!" The Tiger Of Turkestan is very highly recommended reading as emotional and joyful picture book about the importance of being oneself and finding one's own unique strength.
