The author Lion I Am Dan lives on a beautiful island with lots of trees and animals. He likes quiet spaces in nature just like his animal friends. He enjoys talking to the turtles, dolphins and whales when they're around. Like the Lion he enjoys relaxing in nature and listening to the sounds of the birds and animals and that of the wind in the trees and bamboos. He especially loves walking along the beach by the surf. Lion I Am draws and writes and loves music. One of his favorite things is swimming in the strong waves in the ocean. He loves playing with children and animals. They help him laugh at all his passing Me's and his funny moods. The children and animals remind him to be grateful for his life here on this beautiful Earth. On a good day he's like the relaxed watchful lion who watches things from his resting place of Self love and wonder. He loves to visit with teachers and children who read the Lion I Am books together and share their feelings and playfulness together. The animals at Funny Bird Productions sometimes takes messages for Lion I Am but he can be real slow in responding since he really enjoys playing around and relaxing in nature. Some people call this "island time". Sometimes grabbing a ripe banana off a nearby tree and smiling at a passerby can be our most important things we do that day. We're all in this together on this planet made of Love, spinning in Love. The mop top birds who sing "All there is is Love, Love is all there is. Love is all there is, All you need is Love" know what is important. They are very smart and happy birds. Lets's al be grateful for all of life's gifts we have been given.
