Petrella, the Gillian Princess by Chiara Talluto, a fairy tale with a new twist...
I take my hat off to Chiara Talluto; she has penned a fairy tale brimming with emotions... love and hate, happy and sad, greed and generosity, give and take and so much more. Yemell is a world of two races, Man and Gillian with strict rules established to keep the races apart from each other. Princess Petrella is torn between obeying her father and her love for a Man.
Petrella, the Gillian Princess is a heart-felt story that will surely appeal to boys and girls probably between the ages of eight to twelve. The book can be read to younger children of course. I am certain that adults reading the story to their children will also smile while reading certain segments. Chiara has wisely designed this book as a teaching tool with a glossary and follow-up questions. She has also included artwork drawn by her children and she encourages all children to read, write and draw as well.
Petrella, the Gillian Princess by Chiara Talluto, a fairy tale with a new twist, is a great gift for the holidays or anytime. Put a smile on a child's face today. Give him or her the gift of reading, a skill that is guaranteed to enrich for a lifetime. Chiara, keep writing; you're doing a wonderful job.
