Tutankhamen's Gift

Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked or small in a world that seems to favor the loudest and strongest. This gentle biography introduces young Tutankhamen, not as the famous gold-masked king of history books, but as a shy, delicate boy who felt like a shadow next to his powerful brother. It is a story about finding one's unique purpose and lead with a quiet, steady heart. As the young prince unexpectedly ascends to the throne, the narrative explores themes of integrity, resilience, and the courage required to restore peace to a fractured land. Robert Sabuda's stunning paper-cut illustrations provide a tactile, artistic entry point into Ancient Egyptian history. It is an ideal choice for children ages 5 to 9 who are discovering their own quiet strengths and learning that true leadership is defined by what one gives to others, rather than the power one holds.
