"The Cloud Princess lives high in the sky on a cloudy white throne, but longs to discover the world beneath her. One day, she decides to make her way down to Earth in search of adventure! There she sees many beautiful things--colorful flowers, birds, and butterflies--but her trip sparks a curious change, not just in her, but in the Earth as well."--Page 4 of cover.

Originally published in Switzerland as Princesse des nuages, this lovely picture-book was translated into English by the California-based Insight Kids. It isn't clear to me, even after doing some research, whether it was also published in its creator's native Vietnam, where she apparently lives and exhibits her work. Leaving that aside, the text of The Cloud Princess is simple and engaging, combining fairy-tale elements reminiscent of mythology - anthropomorphized celestial beings, for instance - with scientific concepts such as rain coming from clouds. The artwork is beautiful, with a vibrant color scheme and sweet, somewhat cartoon-like figures. I was charmed by this first book from Khao Le and, as I understand other titles have recently been translated, plan to seek out more of her work. ( )
