El rey de nada (The King of Nothing)
by Guridi
Description
The king of nothing has a great Kingdom of spotted lines. Which would be the same as a Kingdom of Nothing composed of dotted soldiers, horses and vast lands. But one day he finds a little “something” in his castle – and will put it in prison for making him a little bit scared. When he returns to see the little “something”, he finds it has turned into a bigger “something” – a very THREATENING “something”! He fights it and runs away from it. Until he dares to come back and finds “something” different...
A wonderful and very intelligent combination of text and illustrations, where all the things being read will be re-signified in the drawings. A story about fears and being able to find beauty in the unexpected and the unknown.
