Lavinda the Cheetah loves the savanna. She loves the acacia tree that marks her home, and she loves her friends and families. What she does not like, however, is running. When her mother, a very fast runner, takes her out of school for some special time together, the two of them spend the day walking and chatting and then - running. At the end of the day, Lavinda snuggles down to sleep, feeling so much better about just being herself.
