Journey through lush landscapes and vibrant illustrations, where magic and mystery intertwine. Can the tiger's wisdom and charm awaken the princess's voice, or will her silence remain unbroken? Discover a tale of wonder and whimsy that transcends time, inviting readers to explore the power of words and the beauty of unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

A talking tiger is the only one who may be able to get a princess to speak in this beautiful picture book set in a mythic India by the Newbery Medal-winning and New York Times bestselling author of American Gods and _Norse Mythology,_ Neil Gaiman, and illustrated in bold colors by Divya Srinivasan.

This stunning picture book will transport readers to another time and place and will delight parents and children alike. “Full of Gaiman’s wit and whimsy, this one is great for reading aloud (and looks pretty lovely on the shelf as well). Gorgeous, with lush illustrations by Divya Srinivasan” (Brightly.com).

Previously available only as an audio book, Cinnamon has never been published in print before, and Divya Srinivasan’s lush artwork brings Neil Gaiman’s text to life.
