A boy worries that Imran, his tiger friend, doesn’t look or act like a real tiger. After all, he isn’t orange, nor does he have any stripes. So the boy paints Imran to look like other animals to help him escape sticky social situations. But when the boy paints stripes to make Imran look like a tiger, that’s where Imran draws the line. Through Imran, the boy learns that it is what’s on the inside that counts. You Can’t Tame a Tiger is a humorous story about defying stereotypes and self-acceptance.

Published by Owl Kids and illustrated by Julien Chung, this book comes out in 2025.
