Her people communicate through a beautiful language of colored scarves, waving messages on the wind. But when three monsters attack-Stymphalian Birds poisoning their dye-pits, a Cyclops whose beam bleaches color from their scarves, and Quetzalcoatl whose song steals their will-their vibrant language begins to die.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspired by the proverb about the one-eyed man in the land of the blind, the story explores how a limitation becomes a profound strength. Faced with silence, Althea leads her people to invent a new language of stomps and pressed palms. Working together, they craft clever traps using the monsters' own weapons: trapping the birds in their hatred of beauty, imprisoning the Cyclops in his own emptiness, and finally uniting with the One-Eyed King to defeat the serpent of forgetting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough ingenuity and teamwork, Princess Althea proves that true power lies in listening, watching, and speaking for one another. Her journey culminates in a hopeful union with the Prince who Needs a Tongue to Talk, symbolizing that every difference becomes a strength when met with understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Holley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 147053536X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781470535360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Michael Holley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437867872511,"sku":"9781470535360","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3822d27-895a-458b-90dd-872ea5dc829c.jpg?v=1777167313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-princess-needs-nostrils-to-michael-holley-9781470535360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
