Patchwork Prince
by Baptiste Paul, Illustrated by Kitt Thomas
What makes a patchwork prince? A prince must be ready for adventure—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 cape that hugs his Black shoulders just right. Wearing his new clothes, chin held high, he will know he is a prince. I absolutely fell in love with this book. “Charming” is an understatement. I recommend this colourful story of gratitude and imagination to everyone, at any age.
