The Twelve Dancing Princesses

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Rachel Isadora. Hoping to discover how the king's daughters reduce their shoes to shreds, a soldier follows the princesses underground where they dance with a dozen princes. Isadora's ebullient collages give this minimalist retelling an African setting. She pieces together forms cut from printed papers and paper striated with oil paint to evoke traditional costumes and landscapes; ample white space adds drama.
