Debbie Allen's contemporary retelling of the classic tale The Twelve
Dancing Princesses with illustrations from Kadir Nelson!
Reverend Knight can't understand why his twelve sons' sneakers are torn
to threads each and every morning, and the boys aren't talking. They
know their all-night dancing wouldn't fit with their father's image in
the community. Maybe Sunday, a pretty new nanny with a knack for getting
to the bottom of household mysteries, can crack the case. This modern,
hip retelling of the classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses bursts
with vibrant artwork and text that's as energetic as the twelve
toe-tapping Knight brothers themselves.
"A funky, fresh adaptation." --Publishers Weekly
"This is a high-flying alternative to the tale's usual dainty
renditions." --Kirkus Reviews
