Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a lyrical picture book set in a mythic India, where a princess named Cinnamon has eyes made of pearls and has never spoken a word. Her desperate parents offer great riches to anyone who can make her talk, until a mysterious, scarred talking tiger arrives from the jungle to teach her in his own wild, unsettling way. As the tiger challenges Cinnamon with pain, fear, and the beauty of the wider world, she finally finds her voice and chooses a new path, creating a fable-like story about courage, choice, and stepping beyond the palace walls.
