A joyful, empowering story of a boy made royal by his mother's
hand-stitched clothes, inspired by the author's childhood in St. Lucia,
and with art by a #1 NYT bestselling artist with St. Lucian roots.
What makes a patchwork prince? A prince must be ready for
adventure--ready for the night, ready to pluck the brightest, most
beautiful fabrics from the scrap heap, ready to run when danger comes.
With the treasures he and his mother collect, she will make him clothes
fit for royalty: No flashy jewels, no crown, but a cut and drape that
hug his Black shoulders just right. And in his new clothes, with chin
held high, he will know he is a prince.
Together with Kitt Thomas's beautiful, exuberant artwork, acclaimed
author Baptiste Paul brings readers a celebratory story about confidence
and self-worth, and the enduring love between a mother and son.
