The King and the Corn

By Toshua Cornwell-Clark M.S. and Derick Mott-Green

"Royal isn't showing off. Royal is steady. It ain't on you, it's in you."

Justin feels strong when he wears his crown, but his wise grandmother helps him understand something deeper. True kingship isn't about gold, jewels, or looking important. It's about carrying your people in your heart knowing where you come from and caring about others. Rooted in the rich symbolism of corn in African and African American traditions, Justin begins to see that even the smallest things can hold great meaning. As he heads off to school, his journey is no longer just about a crown - it's about honoring his heritage and learning how to stand tall with kindness.

In this heartwarming story of culture, courage, and connection, a young boy discovers that real leadership is built on love.
