2021 INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST
Wonder and imagination are at the heart of this story of a friendship between a boy from New York City and the boy king, Tutankhamun
A boy and his stuffed bunny gaze at a star-lit New York cityscape. The great Sphinx of Egypt sleeps. A child swings joyously across a river. This book offers a tantalizing glimpse of the adventures of Arthur and his imaginary friend, Bun-Bun. Together they travel through the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum to another time and place and befriend the lonely boy king, Tutankhamun.
