New Release: The Chillin' King.

The Chillin' King

In the peaceful kingdom of Willowmere, King Chester is known for one thing:

Doing absolutely nothing!

While his people struggle with leaky roofs and wobbly bridges, Chester naps in hammocks, braids his horse Buttercup’s mane, and sings songs about nothing at all. He’s the very definition of a lazy king.
But when a ride through the woods leaves the “Chillin’ King” lost, injured, and alone, he begins to see his kingdom, and his people through new eyes. With the unexpected help of a wise old goat herder, Chester embarks on a quiet, heartfelt journey home and learns what it truly means to lead with kindness, courage, and care.
This funny story about a lazy king is more than just laughs. It’s a modern moral story about a king who learns to care. Blending humor with heart, The Chillin’ King is a beautifully illustrated picture book about responsibility, empathy, and the power of choosing to care.
A perfect storybook about caring and responsibility, this tale gently explores social themes, emotions, and feelings in a way that’s ideal for young readers. Whether you're looking for a children’s book about kindness and caring, an empathy book for 4–8 year olds, or a moral story for children ages 4–8,
The Chillin’ King will leave kids smiling and thinking.
