Each day when the Queen wakes up, three maids dress her, two more style her hair, and her butler James makes her tea. But when she grows dissatisfied with her brew, the Queen and James set out in search of the perfect cup. With each stop on their hot–air balloon journey, the Queen encounters charming and diverse young characters who expand her horizons in the kitchen and beyond. From the author–illustrator team that created the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of 2012, Infinity and Me, comes another imaginative and hilarious story complete with recipes from different cultures to aid readers in brewing their own perfect cup of tea.
