‘Little Lion: A Long Way Home’ – Saroo Brierly’s Incredible Story is Now a Children’s Picture Book

He survived for weeks on the streets, before being taken into an orphanage and adopted by his Australian family.

Now, his story has been turned into a stunning picture book for children called Little Lion: A Long Way Home.

Saroo and his adopted mother Sue spoke with Hope 103.2 from their home in Tasmania to talk about the release, the ins-and-outs of overseas adoption and why Sue and her husband John chose adoption over having biological children.
