Suzanne Mauro's newly released "The Leopard and His Spots" is a tender, bittersweet story about a leopard who gave up his beauty for love.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Leopard and His Spots": a heartbreaking story of love and beauty. "The Leopard and His Spots" is the creation of published author Suzanne Mauro, a writer, artist, and art teacher from Plymouth, Indiana.
Mauro writes, "Once upon a time, the Creator sculpted a beautiful cat to live in the world. He called him 'leopard' and released the cat into the jungle. The lovely feline looked nothing like the leopard we know today. He had the same agile frame, but the leopard did not have any spots! His sleek, yellow coat gleamed brilliantly in the sun, and all who saw him admired his beauty. This beauty made the leopard prideful and kept him separate and alone. Nevertheless, the leopard happily strutted about knowing that the other jungle animals were watching him.
One day, while wandering around an unfamiliar part of the jungle, the leopard happened upon an outcropping of rocks. Here, he spotted a group of lionesses lying in the sun. Captivated by a particularly beautiful lioness, the leopard sensed a stirring in his heart that he had never experienced before, the feeling we know as love. Driven by the power of this love, the leopard surrendered his pride and in an effort to win the affection of the lioness, he sacrificed his radiant coat.
The leopard's willingness to relinquish his beauty for the love of the lioness ultimately becomes a catalyst, prompting a chain of events that cause him to earn his spots, lose faith, and become bitter. In the end, however, hope prevails. The vigilant Creator blesses him, restoring all that the leopard thought he had lost. This tale truly illuminates how the redemptive power of love can conquer all and invoke the ultimate, eternal transformation of life itself."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Suzanne Mauro's new book is a unique, gorgeously illustrated tale about life and love when the world was young, wild, and noble.
Readers of any age will be captivated by the depths revealed in this startling and deceptively simple love story.
