Dad Spelled Backward
A journey through the maze of love, marriage and adoption, Dad Spelled Backward was published by Cypress House in the Autumn of 2022.
“Dad Spelled Backward is a heartfelt, sage, and funny look at the worthwhile gauntlet of domestic adoption. It’s also a compelling portrait of a marriage, showing how the bond between King and his wife grew stronger and more resilient as they navigated their unique path to parenthood.”

Enamel the Camel
In Mike King’s Enamel the Camel, we visit the land of Camel-lot, where most camels never brush their teeth, except one: Enamel.
The other camels tease Enamel for having such white teeth.
Enamel the Camel is a story about acceptance, learning to love yourself and the importance of good dental hygiene.
Illustrated by Rick Ellis
Reviews of Enamel the Camel
“Enamel the Camel does a great job inspiring the little ones to flash a big smile and show those shiny, clean teeth.
A very cute, endearing book with great illustrations, and a sweet story with an important message. Sure to become a kid’s dental classic.”

It have enjoyed reading the story of Enamel the Camel. I am confident it will be a very popular book to read for children because it can excite their imagination.”
