Produktbeschreibung

Perfect for fans of Kevin Henkes' Mouse Adventures and Leo Lionni's Frederick, or young readers taking their first steps towards independence! Henri is a palace rat living as the pampered pet of King Louis the XVI! He's waited on paw and foot . . . but not everybody is happy about it. When a dastardly plan by the royal staff casts Henri out to the streets, he must find his own way safely home. Country mice take Henri in and kindly show him their ways of living. To survive, Henri will eat field strawberries, fashion new clothes out of rags to match the latest Parisian styles, and sleep on grass nests, dreaming of his return to the palace. In no time, Henri will become a popular figure, spinning rich and colorful tales of palace life for growing audiences. Yet every great tale must have a happy ending . . . and when the time comes for Henri to determine how his own story will conclude, will he choose to stay with his new friends on the street or return to his regal life of comfort?

Autorenporträt

Lynne Marie is an award-winning, multi-published picture book author whose most recent book received an Anna Dewdney Read Together Award Honor and a Children’s Book Council Favorite Award in the Teacher, Librarian, and Kids categories. Passionate about culture, art, history, and mythology, she enjoys weaving these elements into her stories. Her love of furry creatures, storytelling, and travel—as well as a memorable visit to the Palace of Versailles in France—inspired The Palace Rat. She resides in Florida. Eva Santana is an author and illustrator of children’s books who began her career in publishing in 1995 and has since written and illustrated more than fifty titles, both her own works and those of other authors. Before returning to her early love of illustration, she explored photography, history, and jewelry-making, and worked as an editor of children’s books and director of the Catalan magazine Super3 Club. Her creative path has always been guided by imagination and storytelling, whether in words or pictures. In addition to her literary and artistic career, she is also a mother—and an enthusiastic, if not always successful, balcony gardener. She resides in Barcelona, Catalonia.
