         Most young girls, and even boys, find themselves worried about their looks. Join Sarah, a young girl concerned with her appearance, as she
    daydreams in the world of Doll Land to find answers concerning beauty and the senses.
           Fascinated by the gorgeous beauty queen riding on a float during a New Year’s Day parade, Sarah begins to wonder if she too is beautiful.
    She drifts off into a dreamlike state across the Moonbeams to Doll Land, where she relives a folktale as a beautiful Native American china doll
    named Princess-Loves-the-Pond.  
           Princess-Loves-the Pond is obsessed with being beautiful. She is so concerned with her own appearance, that she totally ignores the beauty
    surrounding her in Doll Land.  
           One day Princess-Loves-The-Pond bent over to see her reflection. She slipped on a stone and fell into the pond. A gush of water washed away
    her delicate face.  She no longer had eyes, ears, nose or a mouth.
           Without a face, the Princess is only left with the ability to feel. Page by page, she realizes more and more what she can no longer see, hear,
    taste or smell. Throughout the experience, the issue of being vain is delicately handled, with a more obvious study of the five senses. Set on the
    edge of a forest teaming with wildlife, the story includes and discusses many items related to Native American life.
           Will Princess-Loves-the-Pond find the true meaning of beauty? Will she ever again have a face? What life-altering lesson will Sarah learn in her
    Doll Land adventure? Find out in the educational and eye-opening conclusion to The Beautiful Princess Without a Face.         

    The subtle story with an ultimately good ending will be a great bedtime story for parents or grandparents to read to children. Simple words and
    colorful pictures hold a child’s attention and make it ideal for an early reader.  This children’s book is intended for ages 4 to 8.

        Sarah stretched out on the sofa.  She was hugging her
    new doll.

         Soon, Sarah drifted off into a dreamlike state.  In her
    daydream, she became her beautiful Indian Princess China
    doll.  Everyone called her Princess-Loves-the-Pond.  

        She lived in Doll Land across the moonbeams.  
         
        She was tall and slim.  She wore Native American clothes
    with bright and shiny beads.  






        Princess-Loves-the-Pond always asked the pond, “Am I
    beautiful?”  

         The pond always replied, “Yes, my Princess.”

         One day Princess-Loves-the-Pond bent over to see her
    reflection. She slipped on a stone and fell into the pond.  A
    gush of water washed away her delicate face.

         She no longer had eyes, ears, nose, or a mouth.  






Princess-Loves-the-Pond dreamed once again of using her mouth
to taste:  

Sweet honey licked off her fingers

The salty flavor of her mother’s soup

Tart wild berries picked from the field

Morning porridge made from hominy grits

Roasted turkey so tender it falls from the drumstick

Frybread prepared by her mother using a family recipe
