No Place for Magic

Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the feeling that they are not 'enough' just as they are, or when they are entering a new social environment where they feel pressured to hide their true talents. This third installment in The Tales of the Frog Princess series follows Princess Emma as she visits her future in-laws in a kingdom where magic is strictly forbidden. While navigating the disapproval of Eadric's mother and the sting of jealousy as Eadric reunites with old friends, Emma must decide whether to suppress her identity or use her unique gifts to save her kidnapped brother-in-law. It is a wonderful tool for discussing self-worth, the complexities of family expectations, and the importance of choosing a partner who values your authentic self. The story is lighthearted and adventurous, making it a safe yet meaningful choice for children aged 8 to 12 who are beginning to navigate more adult-like social pressures and relationship dynamics.
