Princess Hyacinth: The Surprising Tale of a Girl Who Floated by Florence Parry Heide
3.0
The text is big and colorful, the images minimal to the text, not trying to compete but rather accompany its exuberance with an understated presence--a punctuation mark to every facing page of the story. Even still, text and illustration alternate organically as prelude to the other.
The soft tones and textures and the absence of prissiness in the neither pretty nor ugly Princess denotes a strange normalcy considering this is a fairy tale--isn't it? Like a good fairy tale, the reader/listener should relate to the points of familiarity: the desire to live life untethered and to indulge in explore the near limitless potential with which we are born.
