Mark your calendars. In just a few weeks, a new book that aims to inspire and positively impact readers is set to launch.
That’s right – anticipation continues to grow for the release of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Eyal Levit, MD, F.A.A.D., F.A.C.M.S., and his debut children’s book this fall.
The King’s Race will officially launch this November, offering young readers and families a story of perseverance, kindness, and the strength of community.
As the buzz circulates widely, Dr. Levit, well-known for his notable contributions in the field of dermatology, has already seen his inspiring and engaging tale featured in major media outlets, with growing attention across the U.S., Canada, and internationally. His reach continues to extend to thousands of followers and engaged individuals through social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube, building further anticipation for the upcoming release of The King’s Race.
The illustrated, 10,000-word fable was first written late one night when Dr. Levit realized he could not find a story that captured the lessons he wanted to pass on to his young son. What began as a tale created for a kindergarten classroom soon grew into a work set to resonate with a much wider audience.
“For me, The King’s Race is more than a story, it’s a reflection of what I believe: that compassion and perseverance can carry us further than pride or power ever will,” Dr. Levit said.
The book beautifully tells the heartwarming story of Spots, a speckled foal in a kingdom where only the fastest, most flawless horses are allowed to compete in the prestigious royal race. Rejected for his differences, Spots finds solace and comfort among other outcasts and discovers that true family is not always biological but is instead built on care, acceptance, and love. In the face of betrayal, hardship, and despair, Spots learns that resilience, compassion, and empathy can help lead the way forward, overcoming even the toughest obstacles.
The story blends the timeless themes of David and Goliath with a fresh message rooted in compassion. For Dr. Levit, writing the book was an opportunity to model the values he holds close. He believes that children are born with open hearts ready to love, and that stories like The King’s Race can help nurture those instincts.
“This book will help remind us that true strength isn’t about being the fastest or the loudest, but about staying kind, humble, and loyal to those who help you along the way. That’s a race worth winning. Watching the words and illustrations come together feels like giving birth to a new light. This book is more than a story, it’s a spark of goodness I hope will inspire children to believe in the quiet strength of kindness,” said Dr. Levit.
The narrative’s hopeful and inspiring message is beautifully punctuated by its enduring, uplifting refrain: “Have a ball.” The story serves as a powerful call to believe in yourself, to work hard, to embrace differences, and to live life with joy and enthusiasm. Families who share in reading The King’s Race will experience a fun, exciting, and thrilling tale that doubles as an educational framework for teaching children valuable lessons on resilience, empathy, and the beauty of embracing one’s uniqueness. Just as his work in medicine focuses on health, well-being, and happiness, his writing underscores that the greatest strength is kindness
As the November release approaches, anticipation continues to build among readers and supporters alike.
For Dr. Levit, however, a key part of the story is the chance to inspire children to celebrate their differences with love and compassion.
