As you can see from the cover, the illustrations in this book are amazing. I choose this book to read based on the cover illustrations. Mercer Mayer has beautiful illustrations and wonderful books such as The Rocking Horse Angel and East of the Sun and West of the Moon. This particular book is about a young princess that lives behind the walls of a beautiful garden in the palace. One day she peeks over to the town below. Much to her despair, the town is not as beautiful as she had imagined it. She sets out to convince her mother and father that things need to change. With the help of a kite maker dreams can come true.
I love the illustrations and the inspirational words that Mercer Mayer has given the reader. I really enjoyed reading this tale and I definitely would use this in my classroom. I also want to check out more books and illustrations by Mercer Mayer.
