About this ebook
This is a fairy tale, a story of a princess who always wants more. Her father, the King, orders toymaker and cloth weavers to bring all new goods to the castle so his daughter can be happy. However, the more she gets, the more bored and unhappy she becomes. After Princess Isadora is granted three wishes by the royal wizard, little by little, she begins to identify a feeling of happiness inside her. The story helps children understand that what makes us happy is not purchased in stores but felt with the heart.
