Looking for Leo


My husband and I are both alumni of the University of North Alabama, and my husband just recently began working for UNA as a web developer.  UNA houses two live lion mascots on their campus, Leo and Una.  Recently a book called Looking for Leo was published.  The author, Dalen Keys, and illustrator, Walt Vandiver, are both alumni of UNA.  The proceeds from the book go directly to care for the lions.  A book signing was held a couple of weekends ago at the local Books-A-Million.  So, we decided this would be a good opportunity to give back to UNA as well as get a new book for Farrah that was signed by both the author and illustrator.  Of course Farrah was asleep when we got there, but she still got her picture made with the author and illustrator by the university photographer.  The book is a very cute story about Una and a group of children looking around the campus for Leo.  As a former member of the UNA band, I was excited that the band got a shout out in the book!  To find out more about purchasing the book and helping maintain the lion habitat check out the University of North Alabama's website.
