The King and the Sea by Heinz Janisch
These stunningly illustrated, ultra-short stories are seemingly simple but ultimately profound tales. In each story, the king has an encounter which he tries to rule over. But of course the rain doesn't stop just because a king orders it, and tired eyelids can be much stronger than a king's will. The king sees that his power has limits; the world is diverse and much of it operates under its own rules.
"An extraordinarily beautiful children's book that leaves plenty of room for your own thoughts.. It deals with big questions in a small way."--Litrix.de (German Literature Online)
