Review Quotes

In this addition to the Princess Parable series, princesses Joy, Grace, Faith, Charity, and Hope prepare for their annual Easter pilgrimage and jubilee, during which they will deliver a cross, gifts, and decorations to townspeople "as we remember all that Jesus has done for us." When the princesses find a lost child during a storm, they pray to God to help guide their caravan through the rain. Tiaras and dresses unspoiled, the princesses safely arrive and reunite the child with her mother. Aranda's doe-eyed princesses---white-skinned, slender, and virtually identical---are rendered in a generic Disney-lite style, but despite a few inelegant phrases ("a frantic yet joyful-looking mother came running toward them"), Young and Johnson's story provides an effective framework for discussions about service to others. Ages 4-8. (Jan.)--Publishers Weekly
