This enthralling modern fairy tale from Caldecott and Newbery Honor winner Tomie dePaola and debut illustrator Doug Salati celebrates the greatest power of all: love. In a small kingdom along an ancient road, a bell rings out. The beloved king has died, leaving his magnificent and powerful Imperial Robe to his heir, the young prince. But when the prince’s jealous older half-brother steals the Imperial Robe, slashing it to bits, the prince can no longer rule—and the small kingdom is in great danger. Now the young prince must find another source of power and of strength—and he finds it in a surprising place.

Adelita, The Legend of the Poinsettia, and Jamie O’Rourke and the Big Potato

Hace mucho tiempo-a long time ago-there lived a beautiful young woman named Adelita. So begins the age-old tale of a kindhearted young woman, her jealous stepmother, two hateful stepsisters, and a young man in search of a wife. The young man, Javier, falls madly in love with beautiful Adelita, but she disappears from his fiesta at midnight, leaving him with only one clue to her hidden identity- a beautiful rebozo-shawl. With the rebozo in place of a glass slipper, this favorite fairy tale takes a delightful twist. Tomie dePaola's exquisite paintings, filled with the folk art of Mexico, make this a Cinderella story like no other.

In spring, the hills and meadows of Texas and Wyoming are ablaze with thereds, oranges, and yellows of the Indian Paintbrush. How this striking plant received itsname is told in an old Indian legend. Many years ago, when the People traveled the Plains, a young Indian boy had aDream-Vision in which it was revealed that one day he would create a painting that was aspure as the colors of the evening sky at sunset. The boy grew up to become the painter ofthe tribe, but although he found a pure white buckskin for a canvas and made paints fromthe brightest flowers and the reddest berries, he could not capture the sunset. How the young Indian artist finally fulfills his Dream-Vision is lovingly told andillustrated by Tomie dePaola, in words and pictures that capture the spirit and beauty ofthis dramatic legend.
