About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses feelings of being small in a world that feels too big, or when you want to celebrate how a family's love transforms a house into a home. It is a gentle antidote to loneliness, perfect for children navigating big life changes like moving to a new house or welcoming a sibling. The story follows a tiny, lonely king who lives in a giant, empty castle. While he has everything money can buy, he lacks companionship. His life changes when he marries a big princess and they have ten children, turning his quiet, overwhelming world into a vibrant, noisy, and joyful one. The book uses geometric, collage-style art to visually represent how the king's heart and home grow. It is a beautiful way to show kids that happiness isn't found in things, but in the people we share our lives with. Ideally suited for ages 3 to 7, it provides a comforting sense of scale and belonging.
