"Ruler of the Courtyard" by R. Gregory Christie tells the story of a young boy who takes charge of his environment, transforming an ordinary courtyard into his imaginative kingdom. With infectious enthusiasm, he invites others to join his playful reign, showcasing leadership, creativity, and the power of collaboration. As he navigates the dynamics of friendship and play, the boy learns valuable lessons about sharing, inclusivity, and the joy of community. The vibrant illustrations complement the narrative, bringing to life the energy and excitement of childhood exploration and the importance of finding one’s voice in a shared space.
