Internationally award-winning writer Heinz Janisch and celebrated illustrator Wolf Erlbruch give you extremely short stories of a little king in a big world. \”Buzz off,\” said the king, shooing the bee from his flower. \”Don’t you know I’m the king?\” \”And I’m the queen,\” said the bee, stinging the king’s nose. These stunningly illustrated, ultra-short stories are seemingly simple but ultimately profound tales. In each story, the king has an encounter which he tries to rule over. But of course the rain doesn’t stop just because a king orders it, and tired eyelids can be much stronger than a king’s will. The king sees that his power has limits; the world is diverse and much of it operates under its own rules.
