“Cecil the Lion”
Discussion and reception with author, Billy Portwood

Roaming the lands of Zimbabwe, Cecil the lion is king of the jungle. At ninety-two years old in lion years, the magnificent animal is definitely something to fear. But one night, as he ventures out to get as drink, he’s blindsided by two hunters. Soon, Cecil joins the realm of heaven.
Many are shocked to hear of Cecil’s demise and they demand justice for the grand animal. The hunters ask for forgiveness for their deed.
Based on a true story, this rhyming picture book for children offers a Christian-based look at the death of a majestic African lion.

Billy Portwood is a native Texan, US Armed Forces veteran, husband and father to three young boys. He discovered his joy of writing after penning an anniversary poem to his wife, Carrie. Shortly after, Portwood wrote this, his first book. He and his family live in South Texas.
