This intergenerational portrait slowly suggests the way moments can provide anchors and recur—it’s a 'whoa' kind of idea pitched at just the right level for the target audience." —Publishers Weekly, starred review★ "Salmieri delivers a moving intergenerational story using opposites as its central conceit . . . [with] an immensely satisfying, full-circle conclusion." —Horn Book, starred review"A series of moments, mundane and meaningful, capture the wonder of a life well lived . . .

And in his new clothes, with chin held high, he will know he is a prince.Together with Kitt Thomas’s beautiful, exuberant artwork, acclaimed author Baptiste Paul brings readers a celebratory story about confidence and self-worth, and the enduring love between a mother and son.Trade Review★ “The illustrations convey every joyful moment, [and] the story has a powerful message of pride, even in things that others might not consider beautiful . . . The book offers several jumping-off points for shared discussions: recycling, waste, repurposing, imagination, kindness, and, of course, economic inequity, [plus] Paul’s glorious author’s note . . . So much beauty in very few pages.” —School Library Journal (starred review)"Thomas’ vibrant illustrations are filled with energy and movement, with swirls of color and yellow stars dancing across the spreads. Paul’s text makes wonderful use of specific details; together text and images speak to the resilience of the human spirit . . . A tender reminder that treasure can come from anywhere." —Kirkus Reviews"Using phrases that outline principles of princehood, Paul marries whimsical imaginings with a portrait of bounty created amid adversity. Thomas brings a reverence for color, imbuing [the pages] with jewel tones reflected in artfully rendered characters and garb. It’s a loving portrait of a child embracing their innate value, taught by the queen [their mother] who loves them best." —Publishers Weekly
