A confident tiger proves that you don't have to conform to the expectations of others A young boy knows his pet tiger, Imran, is awesome. The only problem is that Imran doesn't look like a tiger. To show off his cool pet and impress the other kids, the boy tries to "fix" Imran's appearance by painting him orange and giving him zig-zag stripes. But Imran won't play along. Instead of accepting the changes, Imran stays true to himself and insists, "You can't tame a tiger." Imran knows he's a tiger, even if he doesn't fit the tiger image that his friend has in his mind. Eventually, the boy realizes that his mistake was forcing Imran to be anything other than exactly who he is. This humorous and profound story combines narrative text, dialogue bubbles, and expressive art to remind readers that you don't have to change the unique things about yourself to be accepted and remarkable.
