Lekimani and the Night Lion (V/V syllable division)

Lekimani has dreamed his whole life of becoming a Maasai warrior, but the real warriors are a day’s walk away when a hungry lion begins circling his village. Can a cattle boy with only a staff, a song, and a burning branch stand between the herd and harm? And when a second growl echoes from the dark, will his cracked, trembling voice be enough? This warm, thrilling tale practises V/V syllable division with words like ’lion’, ‘giant’, ‘quiet’, ‘react’, and ’triumph’.
