Princess Towonga feels sad as she is so small she can’t join in with her friends and have fun – she feels sorry for herself until her friend Celia points out that no-one is good at everything or can do everything, and everyone has their own unique talents waiting to be uncovered. In fact, her being tiny is what saves the day as she’s the only one who’s small enough to recover the magic healing gem from the mouse’s hole. She discovers the value of being different; she is herself a precious gem.The story is a simple tale, simply told and delightful for it. Nothing wrong with making this message clear and when featuring a sweet little princess, a cute mouse and  beautifully illustrated with detailed watercolors by Pennie Ellis it’s a winner.
