Imagine being always told what to do, what to look like and not having the chance to choose. Follow this dauntless adventure and discover a story in bright, musical verse that transmits values such as equality and having the courage to follow your dreams.
Nona is a princess who lives in a great palace, but she is not happy. Being a princess is not as easy as it seems… To begin with, a princess cannot make mistakes, nor yawn, nor scratch her nose… Furthermore, she must be discreet, always smile and wait patiently for her prince charming to arrive. It's such a boring job. It’s a pain to be a princess! Nona dreams of escaping from the palace and finding her purpose, although she still doesn't know what this is. Therefore, she decides to leave the court in search of adventure. Outside the palace, she will have to follow her own path until she finds who she is meant to be and, thus, takes over her own destiny.
¿Te imaginas que siempre te digan lo que tienes que hacer, quién debes ser y no tener la oportunidad de elegir? Sigue esta intrépida aventura y descubre una brillante historia rimada que transmite valores como la igualdad y la valentía de perseguir nuestros sueños.
Nona es una princesa que vive en un gran palacio, pero no es feliz. Ser princesa no es tan fácil como parece… Para empezar, una princesa no puede cometer errores, ni bostezar, ni tampoco rascarse la nariz… Además, debe mostrarse discreta, sonreír siempre y encima esperar pacientemente que llegue su príncipe azul. Es un trabajo tan aburrido… ¡Qué fastidio ser princesa! Nona sueña con escapar de palacio y encontrar su propósito, aunque todavía no sabe cuál es. Por eso, decide abandonar la corte en busca de aventuras. Fuera de palacio deberá recorrer su propio camino hasta dar con lo que realmente la entusiasma y, así, adueñarse de su propio destino.

About the Author
Carmen Gil Martínez (Cádiz, 1962) is a Spanish writer and Literature teacher who writes and illustrates stories, theater and poetry for children. She began publishing books in 2003, date from which more than 90 of her works have been published, many of them translated into various languages, apart from all those of the Spanish territory. She specializes in children's literature, work that she shares with teaching and cultural animation for children. She has carried out theater projects, puppets, storytelling, dance workshops, etc. She teaches poetry courses in primary schools. She gives talks to encourage reading for families and teachers. She collaborates with various institutions (Instituto Cervantes, Centro Andaluz de las Letras, Autonomous Governments, Universities ...) giving some conferences and holding meetings with readers. In 2011, the Junta de Andalucía awarded him the Gold Medal of Merit in Education for his work to encourage reading.
Daniel Montero Galán (Madrid, 1981) was born prematurely, at the early age of zero. His head was always full of birds. As time went by, they reproduced, and along came a lot of different kinds of creatures, making a great noise―squawks, grunts and screams… so he decided to transfer them into paper to silence them. He keeps a deal with his drawings: they live thanks to him and he lives from them. Because of this symbiosis, more than thirty illustrated books behind him stand up for him to testify that his thing in life is drawing. Day by day, and every other night, he continues to perfect spiral and rectilinear shapes to keep fit without losing shape. Watercolor fights a great battle with the marker to have a leading role on its cardboard.
