About This Book
This beautifully illustrated chapter book retells a classic legend about King Solomon, focusing on his journey from a wise young ruler to one who nearly succumbs to the temptations of power. The story centers on a pivotal lesson he learns from a wounded lioness, a lesson he later struggles to remember as his influence grows. It's a gentle yet powerful fable about humility, empathy, and the enduring importance of remembering one's roots and the wisdom gained from unexpected sources. Ideal for children aged 4-11, it provides a wonderful springboard for discussions about what it means to be truly wise and the responsibilities that come with power.
As he grows more and more powerful, King Solomon forgets the lesson he learned from a wounded lioness.
