Description
"Princess Cinnamon Stitch does not like wearing fine clothes, riding through the country with the king and queen, or practicing deportment. One day she takes off her princess garments and escapes to the woods in overalls, where she does cartwheels, climbs trees, and dances with flea-covered cats. As she gets a thorough scrubbing back in the palace, Cinnamon is told, "Princesses don't cartwheel/or clamber up trees! . . . So the princess stitches a beautiful, multicolored kite and floats up into the endless blue sky with the birds. The king and queen look up at their daughter and hear her singing. They long for the same kind of freedom and escape to the sky on their own elaborately made kites." -- School Library Journal
