This enthralling modern fairy tale from Caldecott and Newbery Honor
winner Tomie dePaola and debut illustrator Doug Salati celebrates the
greatest power of all: love.
In a small kingdom along an ancient road, a bell rings out. The beloved
king has died, leaving his magnificent and powerful Imperial Robe to his
heir, the young prince.
But when the prince's jealous older half-brother steals the Imperial
Robe, slashing it to bits, the prince can no longer rule--and the small
kingdom is in great danger. Now the young prince must find another
source of power and of strength--and he finds it in a surprising place.
