Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Here is another story about royalty that will stand out like a shining, laugh-inducing beacon from the standard cutesy princess and brave knight stories of which most adults have grown tired. Any child will relate to the difficulties of Queen Daisy, whose feet just won?t seem to stay still or do what they are supposed to. Queen Daisy?s feet don?t want to wear proper, elegant shoes or step daintily about the dance floor at royal balls. Instead, they want to wear cozy slippers, or the sort of boots that are particularly good for stomping in mud puddles; they want to dance wildly and occasionally give a bit of a kick to someone who is particularly mean. Luckily, Queen Daisy?s problem is resolved without too much difficulty, and in a manner that both parents and children can appreciate, which recognizes that there are times when one must behave properly even when it?s no fun at all, but that it is equally important to make time to kick off one?s shoes (pardon the pun) and let off a little steam. Du?an Petričić?s drawings are eloquent in their own right, and the ideal complement to this story, showing only the queen?s legs and feet in their various predicaments for most of the story, only revealing her whole self at the end, showing her integration as a whole person just as the story wraps up in similar fashion.
