The Apple-Pip Princess

book coverThe Apple-Pip Princess by Jane RayIn a kingdom long ago and far away, a king had three daughters. When the Queen died, the land turned brown and barren, and no one had enough to eat. Now, the king has given the princesses a week to show him which should inherit the kingdom. The older two sisters have grand ideas, but Serenity, the youngest, has only a single apple pip from her mother. The importance of the earth, growing things, and consideration for others are beautifully illustrated in Jane Ray’s trademark starry and ethnically indeterminate style.
