Illustrated by
Sarah Warburton.
In Hart's playful loose “Princess and the Pea” spinoff, Lily-Rose May leaves home and moves to the palace where she can be a rightful princess who's not required to eat peas. After eating cabbage stew, enduring waving lessons, and other royal duties, she quickly learns there's no place like home. Energetic, pink-heavy mixed-media illustrations add to the cautionary princess story's humor.
