A brand new fairy tale, for a brand new generation.

Thorfinn's father is obsessed with power while his mother cares only for wealth. When it is time to choose a bride, Thorfinn decides he must listen to his own heart instead.

He seeks the wisdom and experience of his friends, the court jester and the old tabby cat. In which direction will they lead him? Will he choose the princess who promises wealth, the princess who promises power, or the princess who is full of love and happiness?

And, will that princess choose Thorfinn in return?


"Singing to the Sun is a lovely modern fairy tale, ably narrated by Vivian French and beautifully illustrated by Jackie Morris. The surprise ending adds a note of whimsy and interest to what might otherwise have been too predictable a story." Curled up with Kids

"This is a rare tale that lets the princess be strong, while showing the prince a path to actual happiness. This short book makes a powerful statement to counteract a movement that seems to have gone too far in the opposite directions...a great opener to a discussion about gender roles in fairy tales and the modern world and the effect they have on our self-esteem or world view." - Kiss the Book

"Gorgeous...thought-provoking." - In the Pages
