Little Leo's Big Adventure
Story & Activity Book
by Mayank Babbar

---

When young Leo travels to India to visit his grandparents, excitement fills the air—especially when a jungle adventure awaits. But when a shimmering butterfly leads Leo off the path, the jungle closes in, sounds fade, and Leo suddenly finds himself alone in a vast, unfamiliar forest. Luckily, Leo isn’t alone for long. Beneath towering trees, the forest grows denser as unexpected guides appear and unfamiliar paths unfold. With each step deeper into the forest, Leo must decide who to trust as the jungle reveals its secrets. Rooted in the vibrant landscapes and cultural traditions of India—including the celebration of Hanuman Jayanti—Little Leo’s Big Adventure is a heartwarming story about friendship, empathy, and finding your way. The fun doesn’t end with the story. An interactive appendix invites young readers to keep exploring through drawing, coloring, counting, reflection questions, and a playful jungle board game, making this book both an engaging read and a hands-on learning experience for children and caregivers to share.
