Illustrated by
Olga Marie Polunin.
After he has seen to the needs of his kingdom, the Littlest Emperor searches for fun. Bored by displays of wealth, entertainment, and food presented in his honor, he at last finds joy with children who play in the mud, fly kites, and enjoy their childhood. The semi-formal text is paired with illustrations that strikingly populate bright art with cartoonish people.
