"God was sad that the Prince and Princess had refused to see the answers to their prayers...."

Water and oil, light and dark, summer rain and desert wind: In this fable of opposites, award-winning author Sandy Eisenberg Sasso shows children and adults of all faiths and backgrounds how self-centered actions affect the people around us, and how by working together we can work with God―to create a better world.

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

In this warm and inspiring tale, two rulers, the Prince of the Midnight Kingdom and the Princess of the Desert Kingdom each have a big problem.

The Midnight Kingdom is overflowing with water, but is in desperate need of oil to light its lamps. The Desert Kingdom is blessed with oil, but in dire need of water to grow its gardens. Each faces disaster. After all, the Prince cannot be princely without his royal pajamas, and he can't find them in the dark; the Princess cannot be princess-ly without her royal tea, and she can't make tea without water!

The royal rulers each ask God for help, but they prove too stubborn and full of pride to ask eachother. It takes a minstrel, a pair of opinionated royal riding-birds and their young keepers, and a simple act of kindness for the kingdoms to learn that they need only reach out to each other to find God's answers to their prayers.
