The Boy, the King, and the Chihuahua: A Storybook for Children Ages 6 to 11 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798293022618)

What if courage didn't roar-but whispered, softly, one step at a time?

The Boy, the King, and the Chihuahua is a timeless story about quiet bravery, kindness, and the power of imagination.

Originally written in 2005 and now reimagined for its 20th Anniversary Edition, this beautifully illustrated picture book invites children ages 6 to 11-and the grown-ups who love them-on a gentle journey through one boy's big-hearted quest to do what others say can't be done.

Told in the spirit of a modern parable, this story honors the wisdom of taking small steps, the depth of love in unexpected places, and the kind of courage that often shows up without a spotlight.

Now with Montessori-inspired back matter to support deeper conversations about courage, empathy, and growth mindset, this edition also includes questions and themes for parents, teachers, and caregivers.

Whether it's your child's first introduction to bravery or a familiar tale passed down to a new generation, The Boy, the King, and the Chihuahua is a heartful reminder that impossible things become possible... one loving step at a time.

Perfect for:
- Ages 6-11
- Bedtime or classroom read-alouds
- Parents, educators, and mentors seeking meaningful stories
- Families looking to share emotional literacy and moral imagination

Written and illustrated by Salvador Monastra-Sebasco, creator of A Life of Meaning Through the Seasons of Growth (a six-book life stages series) and author of The One Who Listens, The One Who Was Held, Lead with Love, and How to Cultivate Love.
