About This Book
This delightfully subversive picture book follows a young girl who gets her wish to become a princess, only to find the traditional rules of royalty stifling and dull. From perfect hair to dainty eating, she quickly realizes that conforming isn't her style. She then takes matters into her own hands, creating a new set of rules that embrace her true, playful, and wonderfully imperfect self, complete with clumsy dancing and crazy scribbling. It's a humorous and empowering story that champions individuality and self-acceptance, making it perfect for sparking conversations about societal expectations versus being authentic. Ideal for children aged 4-8, it encourages girls to celebrate what makes them unique.
