About The Author

Yuichi Amano was born and grew up in Yokohama, Japan. He used to rule a kingdom when he was little, and he was a good king. He left the kingdom as he grew, as all other grownups told him that staying there was not "cool". A few decades later he realized his kingdom was so beautiful that he should have protected it instead of deserting it. He is now hoping his son and all children know how precious their kingdoms are, and will remain as a king and a queen forever to protect them. "I am a king" is Yuichi's third children's book, following his first, "My dad's hat", and second, "The flower buds". Yuichi lives with his wife, son, and dog in Seattle, Washington.
