Lane Smith is one of my favorite illustrators. His work is so fun, and really shines alongside Heide's silly, witty text. Recommended for princesses, kite fliers, and anyone with uncommon abilities. ( )

Beautiful and whimsical ( )

The illustrations were darling. ( )

Florence Heide's story is written as if she is talking directly to the reader. The story is about a princess who floats and cannot stay on the ground. She just wants to be able go out and play and have fun. Eventually she finds a way to do this. The words are written in different sizes and colors that really capture the reader's attention. Lane Smith's illustrations really connect with what the author writes. ( )

Ok, but since no credit if given to [a:George MacDonald|2413|George MacDonald|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1201019294p2/2413.jpg] for his [b:The Light Princess|444382|The Light Princess|George MacDonald|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1311986842s/444382.jpg|3193139], I cannot give it the three stars I would otherwise. And this is just a kid's cute story - the classic is worthy of rereadiing from perspective of child and adult. ( )
