A PEQUENA RAINHA

Through paper cutouts and playful rhymes, Bruna Lubambo introduces readers to a spoiled little queen who is about to inaugurate her very own paper castle.
The little queen in this story loves giving orders—and she wants everything right away! So she builds herself a castle out of paper and invites ten loyal subjects to celebrate its grand opening with an afternoon of games. But, of course, every activity has to be exactly the way the queen wants it. Before long, her guests begin leaving one by one.
Left all alone in her kingdom of folded paper and cutouts, will a little bit of magic—and perhaps a touch of tangolomango—help the young queen discover a better way to treat others?
Combining paper cutouts and origami, photographed handcrafted scenes, lively rhymes, and elements of traditional Brazilian children's songs, this beautifully illustrated picture book by award-winning author Bruna Lubambo explores themes of selfishness, individuality, cooperation, and the joy of playing and making choices together.
