Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant Peruvian-inspired kingdom, a prince believes he's found his true love, but his skeptical mother has a secret test to prove her royal worth. As the queen plots, the prince devises his own clever plan. Will love conquer tradition, or will the queen's test reveal unexpected truths? This enchanting retelling of a classic tale, sprinkled with Spanish, invites readers into a world where love and cunning collide.

From the publisher

The Princess and the Pea gets a fresh twist in this charming bilingual retelling, winner of the Pura Belpré Medal for Illustration.

El príncipe knows this girl is the one for him, but, as usual, his mother doesn’t agree.

The queen has a secret test in mind to see if this girl is really a princesa, but the prince might just have a sneaky plan, too . . .

Readers will be enchanted by this Latino twist on the classic story, and captivated by the vibrant art inspired by the culture of Peru.
