    This is one of my favorite picture books. Before I got this book, I'd read this story in Chinese version. Someone sent the story to me.
    This is a story about a princess who wants the moon. Her father, the king, tried to satisfy her daughter. However, everyone failed, except a jester.
    When we grow up, we like to make thins more and more complicated. Sometimes, something easy and pure are forgotten. I believe that this complicated world just need something very simple.
    I like the little princess, because her lovely idea reminded me that I don't have to make everything too complicated.
    A lovely story!!
