Recent Release, "Rump, Who Would be King," from Christian Faith Publishing Author Manuel Alvarado, Follows Two Pigs Uncovering Truth About a Tyrant

Nashville, TN, September 17, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Manuel Alvarado has completed a new book, "Rump, Who Would Be King," a charming tale of friendship and discovery that takes readers on an unexpected journey through a world of animal characters. When two pig friends named Slim and Shorty set out to visit a companion, their adventure quickly becomes something far more consequential. Along the way, they encounter Mama Bear with her cubs and Mama Rabbit with her brood, each encounter adding texture and warmth to their quest. The pigs soon learn troubling details about conditions in Little Hog Heaven, a place their new friends hold dear, and they resolve to investigate for themselves: only to discover the startling reality of what one creature's unchecked ambition can wreak.

Alvarado's background in storytelling is as distinctive as his narrative voice. After spending twenty-five years serving in the United States Marine Corps, he transitioned into aerospace work for a decade, refining his attention to detail and precision. He then devoted fifteen years to teaching middle school, where he refined his ability to connect with young minds and understand what captures their imagination. Those bedtime stories he crafted for his own children—the "make-up stories" born from a lifelong habit of daydreaming—evolved into the kind of heartwarming tales that resonate with readers today.

"Rump, Who Would Be King" explores profound themes about leadership, corruption, and moral courage through the eyes of humble heroes. Readers will discover how ordinary characters can stand against extraordinary wrongdoing, and how friendship provides the strength needed to face uncomfortable truths. The story demonstrates that real heroism often comes not from seeking power, but from challenging it. Through this engaging narrative, young readers will contemplate what it means to do what is right, even when that path is difficult.

said author Manuel Alvarado, "I love watching children's faces light up with curiosity as they discover how a story unfolds. When I put my own children to bed, those make-up stories became the foundation for everything I write today."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Manuel Alvarado's delightful work offers young readers an entertaining adventure with substance. This tale reminds children that courage and integrity matter more than power or status.

Readers who wish to experience this uplifting work can purchase "Rump, Who Would Be King" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
