A stunning picture book celebrating the Tiny King’s journey from sadness to happiness. The Tiny King lives alone and feels very small and lost in his very big castle with its very big bed and very big bath. But then the Tiny King meets a big Princess and everything in his life changes. Soon the castle is filled with children – lots of children.
All the dark spaces are turned light and everyone is happy ever after. As the mood of the story changes, the spreads go from sombre colours to beautiful brightness.
Taro Miura has created an enchanting prequel to The Tiny King called The Big Princess, illustrated with his refreshingly original artistic style.
Once upon a time there was a tiny king who lived in a big castle guarded by lots of big soldiers. Every day the Tiny King eats an enormous feast at his big dining table (he can never finish it all), he rides on his big horse (he is so tiny that he's thrown off every time), bathes in his big bath (not much fun), and sleeps, not very well, in his big bed all alone.
