Welcome to Litsy!

I have this feeling that this book is gonna be one of those ones that's a "hidden gem" that didn't get the credit it truly deserved! But we shall see. But so far the writing is soooo lyrical and beautiful and the descriptions are very fairytale-esque.

Loved this princess and the pea retelling 😍

* I received an eARC of this book. This is my honest opinion and I leave a review voluntarily *

one of my favorite fairy tales growing up…. #princessandthepea

“But the bed felt so lumpy, like there was a roca”

“She guarded the pea pod and took to the stair. “'If this girl is worthy, she'll feel that it's there.“'

A super cute retell of the story “The Princess and the Pea.“ Read more to see the similarities and differences between the stories!

La Princesa and the Pea was written by Susan Middleton Elya and illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal. This book is a retell of “The Princess and the Pea“ in a different cultural setting. I really like the illustrations in the book because they are colorful and reflect the culture a lot. I really like the use of the stroke in things like the hair on the people and the animals.

The prince and his bride had hijos galore, one for each mattress, and then had no more.
