This Small King

"A powerful tale of hope and kindness" - Adriano Di Prato - Host of Game Changers, Australia's leading educational podcast

A warm, thoughtfully illustrated story that teaches children how kindness can transform your land.

There was once a king who had everything he ever wanted... Ice cream, a magical moose, and playtime whenever he likes! Until an accident occurs and the king starts to wonder: Has he taken his kinghood a little too far?

The Small King uses strong, colorful, and expressive imagery with enjoyable rhyming verses that encourage the beauty of kindness. This charming and innovative story will spark conversations and inspire children towards positive behaviours.

The Small King is published by One in a Million Publishing - helping a million children, from all walks of life, feel safe and loved through reading.
