The short book gives the reader many opportunities and topics for discussion with a child. The topics of love and other emotions, as well as empowering girls, are important lessons. It is a great book to help quell those anxieties of disappointment by discovering how to process unmet expectations better. There are lessons of a father’s love of a daughter. The King and I is a positive narrative that will be welcomed by parents of daughters. The delightful book will also help make little princesses feel welcomed to their family. The book is printed as a paperback, and as a hardback, both versions would make a great addition to your child’s library. The King and I’s real message is simply “Welcome to the world, little one! We love you.” |
