Written by KEILLY SWIFT | Illustrated by COSEI KAWA 

Tyler the tigon has never fitted in. Neither a tiger like his dad nor a lion like his mum, poor Tyler stands out like a sore thumb. Taunted and teased by the other jungle creatures, he flees into the forest with the weight of the world on his shoulders. But who should he find there? An equally extraordinary creature with a tale to match his own…

This one's layered!

This is a great read on a base level -- in that the factual content on ligers and tigons is of value on its own (and very appealing for kids obsessed with all things animal) -- but then there's the added nuanced layers of messages and beauty to enjoy.

“It’s OK to be you!”

From the get-go, I loved this book’s message. A must-read for any third-culture kid or anyone struggling with identity between cultures. Bought another almost immediately as a gift 💗

Thank you!

As a new mum, I became very aware of wanting to make sure my child grows up celebrating and feeling proud of his mixed race background. I want to thank Lantana for coming out with this special book!

A clever, moving and uplifting rhyming story that celebrates being mixed race

This is a fabulous rhyming story which encourages children to love the skin they’re in and is a book you will want to read over and over again. The illustrations bring this story to life and help you visualise what a tigon and liger look like.
