Even a young king must learn how to rule his heart before he rules the land. 👑

Before he became a legend, Tut was just a boy trying to make good choices — and learning that true strength comes from responsibility, not power.

In Tut the Responsible by TL Johnson, a young future pharaoh discovers what it means to lead with integrity. When faced with difficult decisions, he learns that being a king isn’t about commanding others — it’s about caring for them.
