Long before he became a leader known around the world, he was simply a curious child with a wooden stick in hand and a head full of questions.

Through heartfelt scenes of wonder, determination, and family life, children will watch a playful, imaginative boy slowly discover the traits that would one day guide a new nation: honesty, bravery, curiosity, and a desire to do what's right.Perfect for shared reading, bedtime storytelling, classroom lessons, and early history introductions, this book offers a hopeful reminder that even the greatest figures in history began as little kids with big imaginations. It encourages young readers to explore, to learn, and to dream-because who knows what their own small adventures might lead to someday.
