It is a perfect choice for those moments when a child feels self-conscious or 'weird' because of a specific physical trait. This whimsical rhyming story introduces us to a princess with massive feet and a prince with a gargantuan nose, both of whom hide their features under bulky winter gear on a ski lift. As they fall in love with each other's personalities, the eventual reveal of their physical quirks becomes a joyful celebration rather than a moment of shame.
