Singing to the Sun deserves high praise for its original twist on classic storytelling.
7 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
Singing to the Sun is a children's picturebook written in the style of a fairytale. A young prince grows up as the heir to powerful father and a wealthy yet greedy mother. When he hears of a life-or-death test posed by a faraway king in return for the hand in marriage of one of his three daughters, he decides to set out and face the challenge that has claimed the lives of so many other contenders. His father urges him to marry the princess who will bring him power; his mother demands that he marry the princess who will bring him wealth. The third princess brings naught but love. With the help of a clever jester, the prince is able to survive the challenge - but which princess will he choose, and will she choose him in return? A fairytale with a most unexpected twist at the end - the prince may not get to marry the princess, but that doesn't mean that the story ends badly for either of them! - Singing to the Sun deserves high praise for its original twist on classic storytelling.

Power, Riches, or Happiness
6 Sep 2009
Format:Hardcover
Singing to the Sun is a Fairy Tale by Vivian French and illustrated by Jackie Morris. The story starts out ordinarily enough. A king who only wants power weds a woman who only loves gold. The poor child they produce is of no use to them until it is time for him to find a bride. The prince goes out to face a challenge for his princess with a jester and a tabby cat. He chooses well with the jester's help, but that's not the end of the story. French's illustrations are lovely, detailed watercolors.

Beautiful, Beautiful

Format:Hardcover
The cover is eye-catching, beautifully done; each page is rich with perfect illustrations. The story is absolutely RIGHT. I have not read a fairy tale in a long time, perhaps EVER, with such a perfect message. well done, Vivian French and Jackie Morris!
