Her singsong voice with its gentle tone fits perfectly with the lyrical story of a princesa who is put to the test by a protective mother.

Notes of scheming, determination, and charm adorn this fairy tale as Ortiz whisks readers into a magical world. Listeners both young and old are sure to enjoy this evergreen title freshly retold with a Latin twist and filled with easy-to-learn Spanish words such as numbers from uno to cuatro and adjectives like suave, grande, and peque�o.
