Review
Queen of Hearts is an absolutely gorgeous book that our daughter has read with great pleasure over and over again. Satine easily relates to the main character's creativity and caring nature, and without a doubt recognises the story as something that could happen to her.
Mary Engelbreit's illustrations are quirky, bright and colourful - just like her main character Ann Estelle. Both the images and the text literally leap off the pages - making Queen of Hearts visually appealing to the developing reader and parents alike.
