The Light Princess: An Illustrated Classic Fairy Tale Retelling George MacDonald for Kids; A Whimsical Story of Magic Gravity, Love, and Sacrifice

Once upon a time, a princess was born with no gravity. Not just the kind that keeps your feet on the ground - but the kind that keeps your heart grounded too. Princess Luma floated through life laughing at everything, feeling nothing deeply, and caring for no one but herself. To the world around her, she seemed perfectly happy. But something very important was missing. When a terrible curse begins draining the magical lake that gives her kingdom life, and a brave young prince makes the greatest sacrifice imaginable to save it, Luma feels something stir inside her for the very first time. A heaviness. A longing. A single, shining tear. And in that one small moment, everything changes. The Light Princess is a gorgeously illustrated retelling of George MacDonald's beloved 1864 classic fairy tale, reimagined for young readers aged 7 to 12. Brought to life across 44 illustrations, this timeless story blends gentle humor, breathtaking magic, and a quietly powerful message that children and parents will carry long after the last page is turned. Because true happiness is not the absence of sadness. It is knowing how to feel both - and choosing love anyway. Perfect for: - Independent readers aged 7 to 12- Classroom and library read-alouds- Bedtime story collections- Gifts for young readers who love fairy tales and fantasy- Social and emotional learning discussions at home and school
