Princess Hyacinth (The Surprising Tale of a Girl Who Floated)
Starred Review,Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2009:“Smith’s elegantly cartoonish brush-and-ink character survives an exhilarating scare involving a kite, a rescue and a newly formed friendship. Heide’s prose takes off just when Hyacinth does.”Starred Review,Publishers Weekly, August 17, 2009:"Heide possesses the ability to tell a moralistic tale without a hint of didacticism."Starred Review,School Library Journal, November 2009:“Heide’s tale bubbles with effervescence, drawing readers into the fantasy with a lively, conversational text.”
