Princess Hyacinth is a girl with a strange problem. She floats. So she doesn't float in the air, she has a heavy crown. She has heavy clothes. These weight her down so she doesn't float away. One day, she takes off all the heavy clothes and off she floats in her Royal Underwear.
This book has wonderful pictures by Lane Smith. Author Florence Parry Heide tells a very funny and unique story. When she writes, she uses a writing technique called voice. It sounds like the author is talking directly to you, the reader. Here's an example: "Well, you're saying, everyone has a problem. But this was an unusual problem."
Even disappointed kids who voted for other books believe that Princess Hyacinth was a good choice for this year's Ladybug Award. If you want to see the voting results for the rest of the nominated books, just click here.
