King Khalid is PROUD

Children’s Book Synopsis:

There is power in the word PROUD.

It feels good when someone tells you that they are proud of you. But imagine just how empowering it is when you do something that makes you proud of yourself!

King Khalid is a clever and courageous boy who loves to play video games, but his bedtime gets in the way. After his father reinforces the rules and makes him go to bed on time, King Khalid challenges himself to find a creative way around the rules so he has more time to play his games. - Even if he has to learn how to design his own video game!

He signs up for a coding class with the ultimate goal of staying up late, but in the process he accomplishes something that ultimately makes everyone proud.

King Khalid is Proud makes children believe in themselves, and helps them develop the type of confidence that turns into rock-solid self-esteem.
