Her parents, desperate to hear her voice, offer great riches (a field of mango trees, a parrot and a portrait of the princess's aunt) to anyone who can get her to talk.

My husband (and his dad) is such a fan of owls that I had several board books featuring owls as the protagonist ready for our little one's joining of our family. As the treasure hunt leads them around town, Hazel and Noah unexpectedly find themselves falling for each other.I have an autistic son of 22 who does not talk and we have tried many things to get him to talk, but I have yet to try what these parents tried, which is to put the girl in the same room for a night with a (talking) Bengal tiger. When I saw that Neil Gaiman had a new children's book coming out, I was excited, having been a long-time fan of both his novels and graphic novels. Until a mighty tiger, huge and fierce, prowls into their palace and announces that he is here to teach the girl-cub to talk .

It revolves around a little princess of India who doesn't talk and her parents' continuous attempt to make her do so.
