What is Ravi's Roar about?

Ravi, the smallest in his family, often feels left out due to his size. One day, his frustration boils over, transforming him into a roaring tiger! At first, being a tiger is thrilling — he can do anything he wants. However, Ravi soon realises that his wild behaviour drives his friends and family away. Through this adventure, Ravi learns the importance of expressing his feelings appropriately and making amends, discovering that being himself is the best way to connect with others.
