Princess Unlimited
With art by Coretta Scott King Award Honoree Raissa Figueroa, Princess Unlimited is the funny and empowering tale of a determined princess who takes matters into her own hands.
Princess Susan’s kingdom is under attack from a dragon, and the king and queen have emptied the royal coffers to buy sparkly things for the princess. But Princess Susan doesn’t want sparkly things! She wants to save the kingdom! So, with the help of an outspoken scullery maid and a loyal canine companion, she rolls up her sleeves and gets to work.
As formidable as the dragon is, Princess Susan’s most daunting challenge may be convincing her parents to pay attention to what she wants and actually listen to her. Fortunately, the resourceful and entrepreneurial princess has a perfect (and delightfully unexpected) plan to ensure that everyone—even the dragon—lives happily ever after.
What Rosa Brought
What Rosa Brought is the most personal book I’ve ever written. It’s the true story of my mother’s escape from Nazi-occupied Vienna, the family she left behind, and the love she carried with her.
