‘Rich as Kings’ written by Gina McCrudden and illustrated by Dan Williams – a beautiful story from our 'Wild Wonders, an anthology of short nature stories for children’.

“George’s Grandad Danny told him once that he felt like the richest person alive when he was outside. ‘Richer than a king?’ asked George, a little confused because he knew his Grandad’s house was small, his car was old, and he didn’t wear fancy clothes or big hats. ‘Richer than any king, Georgie boy,’ he replied, smiling. ‘When I’m outside, I have everything I’ve ever dreamed of.’ ‘Really?’ said George, his bright eyes growing wider as he imagined all the shiny, fast, and expensive things kings must have. ‘Like what?’ he said, filled with excitement. ‘Well,’ said Grandad. ‘It takes a very special person to find the riches I’m talking about, but when they do, they will have them forever.’”
