Book Description

A smart and witty picture book about a king whose pride is challenged, by the renowned Spanish illustrator and children's author Guridi. It is not nothing to be the king of nothing and the formidable king of nothing presides with proper pride over his kingdom of which nothing is known except that he is the king. He parades through his kingdom, and he oversees his kingdom, and he sets out to defend his kingdom—especially when, one day, out of the blue, the last thing he would ever have expected or wanted shows up within its borders: something. What to do? The King of Nothing is a sly and witty and entertaining parable about personhood and power, about always getting your way and not always getting your way, and getting on anyway. It is a playful book of first philosophy and fundamental psychology for kids, brilliantly executed and illustrated by Guridi, a renowned Spanish artist and author for children.

Book Description

A long forgotten continent. A young King on a mission. For over 500 years the island people of Feirlan have lived in isolation; ignorant of their past and the plague which drove them from their homeland in the distant continent of Reilan. For young prince Ciro, heir to the Feirlan throne, the hidden history of his people has fueled his childhood dreams and given him one burning ambition. To forsake the Feirlan crown, voyage back to the forgotten continent of Reilan and reclaim his people's deserted kingdom. But there are deeper secrets behind the exodus of his ancestors and truths far darker than the young prince could ever imagine await him on the distant shores of Reilan.
