“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
