Menelik the Great: The Mighty Lion King Who Unite Ethiopia By Dr. Eskinder Yimer Haylu Go on a heartwarming, nail-biting, and inspiring journey of African history like no other! Menelik the Mighty: The Lion King Who Built Ethiopia is a dynamic blend of adventure, humor, epic storytelling, and fact that brings to life the legendary persona of Emperor Menelik II, the first Black African king ever to defeat European colonialism on the battlefield—and win! Something more than a children's book, this is a declaration of Pan-African pride, an honor to African resilience, and a declaration of hope for each child—most especially those whose heritage stretched throughout the long histories of slavery and colonialism. With its poetic verses, humorous rhymes, and resplendent cultural vignettes, this book unambiguously informs Black children everywhere: you are the descendants of kings, of intelligence, of triumph. ABOUT THE BOOK From his mischievous boyhood to his great statesmanship, from chuckling at pudding pies to scheming Ethiopia's rise, Menelik the Mighty invites readers to meet one of Africa's greatest heroes. Each installment unfolds in crazy energy and poetic rhythm—teaching history to be a thrilling quest. • Experience the rambunctious young prince who befriends ducklings and writes surreptitious letters by candlelight. • See Menelik evolve into a visionary king, who builds roads, defrauds devious foreign visitors, and builds a new modern country from the ground up. • Cheer on the historic Battle of Adwa, where Menelik and Empress Taytu lead a fearless, united Ethiopian army against colonial occupation forces—and achieve one of African history's greatest victories! • Hail Ethiopia's transformation, as trains, bridges, and schools erupt throughout the kingdom, all in the reign of a lion-hearted monarch. Set in 55 un-put-down-able chapters in four beautifully written sections, the book weaves together happiness, culture, humor, and heroism into each and every page. From Taytu's clever tricks, royal lions on the loose, or spaghetti-inspired war tactics—there's always an adventure. A STORY FOR ALL GENERATIONS Perfect for 6–12 year old readers, this story will also captivate parents, teachers, and seniors. A live classroom treasure, a home jewel, and a thoughtful gift for those who would like their children to grow up on African heroes in their hearts and history as their pride. This book was created with intention: to rouse the African child, to raise up voices that history has too often silenced, and to remind the world that Africa is not only a continent of stories—but of victory. Menelik's legacy teaches us that honor, wisdom, solidarity, and strength can destroy all chains. WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS Pan-African Empowerment – Inspires Black children with confidence by highlighting real African wins.
