There’s a new king in the land, but he’s a child!
The people say he must go to King School, but the king hates wearing heavy robes and remembering difficult rules.
So the king says, “NO!”
And he takes the people into the forest and shows them a different way to be king….
A brilliant new story from the internationally acclaimed author of Beegu and Slow Loris.
Alexis Deacon graduated with first-class honours from Brighton School of Art. His first book, Slow Loris, was published in 2002 and was shortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award. In 2015 Time Magazine included it in the 100 best Children's Books of All Time. He has twice been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal and has twice won the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book Award. He lives in London.
