The tiniest of creatures can change the fate of a great Pharaoh.
The chance meeting of Khepri, the small scarab beetle, and the powerful Pharaoh turns out to be a life altering experience for both and, ultimately, shapes the fate of the young leader. After the scarab uncovers a mysterious plot to murder the Pharaoh he is determined to put an end to it. The tiny scarab with a big heart helps the Pharaoh avert danger and saves the life of his precious ruler.
Lavishly illustrated with fifth color gold ink on the cover, this fascinating picture book elegantly depicts ancient Egypt and delivers the important message that even the smallest of creatures can make an impact. A perfect supplement to classroom studies and a great gift for Egyptphiles!
