A little girl is tasked with ruling her West African village in this empowering story about breaking from tradition and leading with your heartAfter the king of a West African village dies, his eightyearold daughter Abioye is made the temporary ruler, or regent, until a new king is chosen. The chiefs scoff at this decisiona little girl cant be regent! Even Abioye herself doubts whether shes up to the task. But her late fathers words of wisdom comfort and guide her: Those who will rule must first learn to serve.The next day, amid meetings about taxes and titles, Abioye keeps her eyes and ears open for ways to serve her people. When she hears about their driedup well, their leaky boats, and their hungry children, she decides to devote herself to helping the villagers instead of attending stuffy meetings with the chiefs. With her ideas and support, the village flourishes. But as the villagers praise her leadership, the chiefs complain that she is abandoning her duties, and announce that it's time for a new king. When the time comes for the villagers to vote for their new ruler, they reject all the other candidates and crown Abioye instead, making her the first female King the village has ever had!Author Yewande DanielAyoade draws on Yoruba traditions and culture to craft a highly original, uplifting feminist fable. Abioyes journey will inspire readers, regardless of age or gender, to discover their inner strength, wisdom, and capacity to lead.
