Princess Hyacinth: The Surprising Tale of a Girl Who Floated by Florence Parry Heide

4.0

I love Florence Parry Heide's writing! Princess Hyacinth's problem with floating is never solved, but at least she finds a way to enjoy the outdoors without being weighed down all the time with her heavy crown and socks with diamond pebbles sewn in to help keep her grounded. I love her in her bathing suit wearing a seat belt that attaches her to a bench by the window so she can see the other kids swimming.
