OverviewKEYNOTE: A prince who decides he's a rooster is restored to his royal serlf by a clever and compassionate teacher This picture book brings a light touch and engaging silliness to the story of a prince who rejects the lavish luxury of his upbringing in favour of a life as ...a rooster. The only person who can persuade the prince to reconsider is neither a doctor nor a magician but a wise teacher who is willing to become a rooster too. Told to the author by her grandmother, who brought it from Eastern Europe a century ago, this traditional tale is accompanied by strikingly witty and graceful illustrations that add their own folkloric flavour. Author's note. AUTHOR Ann Redisch Stampler based her two books for Clarion on stories from her grandmother, who was born in Belarus and moved to the United States as a young girl. ILLUSTRATOR Eugene Yelchin is a Russian-born painter and illustrator. The Rooster Prince of Breslov is his first project for Clarion Books. His web site is www.eugeneyelchinbooks.com.
