"Princess Hyacinth" is a charming tale about a princess who has an unusual trait: she is afraid of losing her precious crown of hair, which floats her above the ground. Despite her royal status, Princess Hyacinth longs for adventure and the freedom to explore the world beyond her castle walls. One day, a boy named George discovers her secret and helps her find the courage to embrace her unique ability. Together, they embark on whimsical adventures, learning about friendship, bravery, and the joy of being true to oneself. The story celebrates individuality and the importance of facing one's fears.
