If I am the King of the Earth
17 poems from the perspective of children combined with Matisse-inspired illustrations from the bestselling duo.
If I were the king of the earth, I would be fine no matter I am happy or not.
My friends and I will go on an adventure together. We will start from the kingdom of building blocks, climb over the mountains, and cross the sea.
Before going out, I want to tell my mother that I love you. I love you infinitely. I love you ten thousand and one times.
In these poems, you will meet the mother who smiles like the sun, the new friends at the kindergarten, the magical big whale and the red balloon, and experience the incredible adventure. This book invites all children and adults to discover the beauty of the world itself.
