"I am a king" is a story of a king who faces the dilemmas that all boys and girls encounter in their everyday lives. Trust or doubt? Mercy or punishment? Give or take? Conquer or peace? Me or them? It is a perfect gift for young children who are about to become teenagers, who are about to leave their dreamy childhood behind to enter the new world of grown-ups. This beautiful story can be the last fairy tale your children will remember for the rest of their lives, to resist being defined by the world, but to seek to define how the world should be. This is a Japanese–English bilingual children's book, suitable for ages 8 – 12.
