Louis I- The Make-Believe King

What would you do if a crown landed at your feet? Would you try it on or treasure it? This is what Louis the sheep does. The book is written and illustrated by Olivier Tallec.

Synopsis:

One day, a strong wind blows through a pasture, carrying a paper crown. Louis the Sheep places it on his head; from that moment, he becomes Louis I, the King of Sheep.

As a king, Louis begins to imagine what his reign will look like. He envisions a wooden stick as his sceptre and a tree trunk as his throne. Louis, the King of Sheep, addresses his subjects, hunts for food, and brings forth the best artists in his kingdom to perform in his court. Also, the new power on his head makes him drive the sheep who don’t resemble him out of the pasture. What else did Louis I, king of sheep do in the rest of the story?

An interesting story, relevant to the present. It simply shows the fascination of power—extraordinary illustrations by Oliver Tallec. The story conveys an important message

“Don’t try to control others with your power, if it is a paper crown a simple wind can blow away the same.“

Always Remember Power is an Illusion!
