A little preview
In the sunny courtyard of a town made of courtyards, Alex met Princess Marigold, famous for making paper crowns. Today Marigold’s paper crown was extra special: it shimmered with folded poems and tiny pressed daisies. But when a breeze whisked through the windows, the crown slipped away and began to tumble down the cobbled lane. The princess clasped her hands in a small panic—today she would give the crown to a friend who felt lonely. Alex promised to help chase the runaway crown.
