The Princess and the Pea - Beautifully Illustrated Fairy Tale Book

A beautifully illustrated retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic, this paperback follows a young woman’s quest to prove her true royal nature through a seemingly tiny test. When a mysterious princess seeks shelter during a storm, the queen places a single pea beneath twenty mattresses to determine her sensitivity. Through vibrant, whimsical artwork and clear, age-appropriate text, “The Princess and the Pea” introduces children (ages 4–8) to themes of kindness, empathy, and the idea that small details can reveal great truths. Perfect for storytime, this edition sparks conversations about compassion, authenticity, and what it really means to be a “true” friend or family member.
