Illustrated by
Raúl Colón.
Storace deftly weaves Caribbean imagery and music into her Rapunzel retelling. Imprisoned in a tropical tower, Sugar Cane grows into a beautiful, talented young woman. Carnival music contest winner King responds to Sugar Cane's song and inspires her to break free from the tower. Colón's handsomely textured curvilinear illustrations beautifully reflect the story's island-inspired flow.
