My Review:
🌟🌟🌟🌟
Four Point Four Stars
It is a vibrant story that has a fresh concept, of a handmade paper princess that gets blown away by the wind before her beautiful hair is complete.
This starts a whimsical journey of the paper princess across meadows, rivers and many other places where the paper princess finally realizes that she has to write her own destiny.
What makes this story so unforgettable is the profound emotional core as the princess navigates the vast world to find her way back home.
Lovely collage-like illustrations and the book helps children find courage and creativity.
Enjoyable read.
Thank you for the e-Arc Netgalley.
