Teacher Comments: "This story of a king who has a balance which he has used to divide the kingdom "equally," is a great illustration of inequality. The brave boy in the story confronts the king about the imbalance. It is a great read-aloud to spark discussion on inequalities and why and how they exist. Its message is profound but definitely accessible to elementary-age readers."
