A remarkable children's book that beautifully weaves lessons of integrity and courage into well-known tales and biblical stories. It's a concise, yet impactful read that resonates with both kids and young adults. The book's ability to convey important values through engaging narratives is commendable.

Simba's journey to kingship is not only entertaining but also serves as a powerful metaphor for the importance of standing up for what's right, even in the face of trials. Murimi's storytelling and illustrations make this book a valuable addition to any child's library, providing both entertainment and moral guidance.

You know Simba, right? Well, this book takes you on his journey to becoming a king, and it's not just about being a king; it's about being a person with integrity and courage. It's like a mix of cool stories we all know and some cool Bible stuff too. And the best part? It's not boring at all. It's like sneaky learning while having a blast. So, if you want a book that's fun and teaches you stuff that actually matters, Stand Alone Son is the one to grab.

This story is about a king looking for a successor, after being unable to produce an heir. He gives all of the young men seeds to grow an nurture. When he asks to see their progress he finds all but one fail his test. This is a great story to teach kids the importance of honesty and doing what is right. I loved that this book made it seem that by failing to complete a task the boy was losing, but in reality those who did complete the task did so dishonestly. It is not just the end result that matters, whether you succeed or fail, how you get there matters. I would definitely recommend this book as a lesson for young children.
