Illustrated by Lane Smith
ISBN 978-0375845017
This book focuses on a princess with an extraordinary talent—or problem, depending on how you see it. She floats! When she isn’t weighted down with her crown or other heavy things, Princess Hyacinth drifts right up to the palace ceiling. She is never allowed outside because she might float away forever! An encounter with a balloon man, a boy, and a kite change her life. There is flying and swirling, a heroic rescue and a new friendship.
The illustrator sneaks animal shapes into the background of the pages and the author has just as much fun with the words—they float up the page and change size and color. With funny text and creative illustrations, this book is sure to please!
