Illustrated by
Leanne Franson.
Twins Rebecca and Jane imagine how an earthquake separated them, two princesses, from their royal family and shook them through time into the trailer park where they live. They dream of returning, until an old woman helps them see that beauty, like royalty, is where you choose to see it. The childlike telling and expressive acrylic and pencil illustrations capture the innocent wishfulness of the sisters.
