Christine Davenier.
The very fairy princess returns as a flower girl in her aunt's wedding, and her family has to keep her from going over the top (e.g., leaping down the aisle). Geraldine is discouraged when it literally rains on her parade, but a neat resolution restores her sparkle. The story is too familiar, but Davenier's ink and colored-pencil drawings add pizzazz.
