A fable about love, empathy and belonging
Sometimes, only by seeing the world through the eyes of animals can we learn the true meaning of love.
About the Book
On the night a star crossed the skies of Avaris, Princess Brigitte’s life changed forever.
Transformed into a little caramel dog, she begins to see a world far beyond the castle walls.
Through silent forests, cold nights and unexpected encounters, Brigitte embarks on a journey about love, empathy and belonging.
Because sometimes, only by looking through the eyes of animals do we learn the true meaning of love.
Music Inspired by the Novel
Some emotions from The Caramel Princess also became music. These songs were created to accompany the atmosphere, feelings and journey of Brigitte.
When the stars were shining high
In a sky of gold and blue
There was magic in the night
Waiting to be found by you
Every pawprint, every trail
Every heart beneath the skies
Has a story still to tell
If we learn to look with kinder eyes
They don't need a crown to shine
They don't need a throne above
In the quiet of their hearts
They teach us what is love
Through their eyes
We can see the light
Through their eyes
The world feels warm and bright
Golden hearts
Shining in the dark
Showing us the way
When we don't know where to start
Through their eyes
We learn what love can be
Through their eyes
We become who we're meant to be
Once I believed that golden crowns
Were the measure of a queen
That greatness lived in palace halls
And all the treasures in between
But beyond the castle walls
A different truth was waiting there
In gentle hearts and open hands
In kindness, love and care
The stars can light the darkest sky
But there's a brighter light inside
True royalty
Is the love we give away
True royalty
Lives in every heart today
Not in diamonds
Not in gold
But in the stories love has told
True royalty
Shines forevermore
Across the sky, a silver flame
A whisper dancing through the night
No one knew her world would change
Before the morning light
A castle sleeping in its dreams
A kingdom safe behind its walls
But fate was already on its way
Answering a silent call
Some stories start with a single step
Some begin with a wish
But hers began beneath the stars
On a night like this
The falling star
Crossed the sky tonight
The falling star
Burning soft and bright
Carrying a dream
Carrying a spark
Leading one lost heart
Through the dark
My Inspirations
Although The Caramel Princess is a work of fiction, many of its emotions were born from real stories, rescues, affection and the animals who transformed my life.
My mother inspired the name of Maria Betty Seyfred, the protector who changes Brigitte’s destiny. Beside her, Mion represents the silent tenderness of the animals who accompany us.
Mel was one of the main inspirations for the canine protagonist of the story.
