People love books about traditionally "tough" or large animals dancing. And e expect them to follow a particular path in of the characters learning not to care what others think about them. Brian differs a little from that outline. He has a lot of shame about his dancing. He feels very strongly that he has to follow certain behaviors and to talk about certain topics, to followw the life of a traditional predator. He has to learn to overcome his perception of societal pressure and do the thing that brings him joy. There are enough unique elements in this story to help i stand out in the world of self-acceptance stories.
