King & King

Blurb

King & King is a young children's book by Linda De Haan and Stern Nijland. It was originally written in Dutch, but later translated into English. In the United States, it was published by Berkeley, California-based Tricycle Press in 2002; as of 2009, 20,000 copies have been sold in the United States. It has been published in at least eight languages and a theater stage version has been performed from Vienna to Mexico City. At Tricycle Press' request a sequel, King & King & Family, about the kings adopting a child, appeared in 2004.
The book has gained some prominence due to opposition from social conservatives who believe that children should not see LGBT themes; attention as a result of this opposition greatly increased sales of the book.
