Durante dez anos, a escritora e ilustradora Rachel Isadora percorreu vários países da África, inspirando-se para adaptar contos de fadas, como esta clássica história de Hans Christian Andersen. Suas primorosas ilustrações levam os leitores até as belas paisagens africanas, onde uma pequenina ervilha será capaz de mudar destinos.

Absolutely gorgeous illustrations. The story is a very stripped-down version of the classic fairytale/folktale, which may be a good thing if the kids are the questioning type or if you are good at asking questions of the kids to involve them in the story. ( )

This book is about a prince in search of his princess. They construct a plan to proves she is a real princess by putting a single pea under 20 mattresses and 20 feather tops. The princess feels the pea and is married to the prince afterwards, while the pea is put in a museum. ( )

This book is great a taking a real life issue and turning it into a little fairytale. it leaves you with a mindset of good things come to those that wait.
