A beautiful, moving story in verse that builds from a child's simple wishes to more profound wishes for a better and more peaceful world. The verse is accompanied by vibrant and original portraits of African kings and queens. While showing traditions of royalty in Africa, award-winning author Tadjo subtly questions those who hold power everywhere, yet conveys a message of hope. With full-colour illustrations.
