Until one day, her playful spirit led to a misunderstanding with her father, the king. In his embarrassment, he banished her from the kingdom. But all was not lost for Amal. To reunite with her family, she'll just need to prove that life is best enjoyed with a sprinkle of seasoning. . . . In the second of the Everlasting Tales collection, multicultural folktales passed down through oral tradition now refreshed for a modern audience, critically acclaimed and bestselling creator Anoosha Syed shares the Pakistani tale of the Salt Princess. Back matter includes an author's note and a condensed tale in Urdu for bilingual readers, the perfect gift for baby showers.
