The Princess and the Packet of Frozen Peas

Praise

“Relying on pattern, line and pale colors, the naively stylized pencil, gouache and collage illustrations subvert proportions and perspectives, adding to the whimsical tenor of this droll tale of a savvy prince who finds the perfect partner. A must for would-be princesses.”—Kirkus Reviews

“The illustrations, rendered in collage, gouache, and pencil, lend additional quirkiness to an already eccentric story, with humorous touches like Henrik’s sporty headband. Frankly, it’s refreshing to see a gap-toothed commoner score the crown.”—Booklist

“This story has indie rom-com written all over it. Whether children warm to the book’s laid-back vibe, Wilson’s reportorial prose and deGennaro’s hipster naif sketches give this tale of unconventional princes and princesses an authenticity that not all stories in this mold possess. . . “—Publishers Weekly
