‘If spoken gently, words add flavour to life―but if spoken without thought, they can cause harm.’

In the grand Kingdom of Food, Princess Chilli dazzles with her looks but hurts others with her careless tongue. When a grand feast tests all the flavours in the kingdom, she discovers that beauty alone is never enough.

India’s favourite storyteller brings to us the story of a proud princess who must learn the true meaning of humility, kindness and purpose. A warm, thought-provoking tale that reminds us of the power of choosing our words with care, this gorgeous chapter book is the ideal introduction to the world of Sudha Murty.
