The Blue Bird's Palace
When Natasha makes a selfish choice, the Guardian of the Blue Forest
transforms her into a blue bird and locks her away in a palace! Her
palace is everything she thought she ever wanted, but Natasha begins to
miss her widowed, lonely father, back home on the orchard. She’ll have
to learn to help others and put their needs before her own—or she might
never see him again. Breathtaking acrylic paintings by The Arabian Nights and The Adventures of Achilles illustrator Carole Hénaff make this Russian folklore-inspired tale of inner change truly unforgettable.
