About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the gap between who they feel they are on the inside and how the world sees them on the outside. It is a perfect choice for the creative child who tends to get lost in their own elaborate projects or for the child who has experienced a public 'oops' moment and needs to laugh about it. This quirky story follows a girl who is certain of her royal status and fashions a crown from a pineapple, only to watch her kingdom literally buzz out of control as flies descend upon her sticky headpiece. Beyond the humor, the story explores the resilience required to maintain one's identity when things get messy. It is a gentle, absurdist lesson in self-confidence and the reality that even the best DIY plans can go awry. Ideal for children aged 4 to 8, it provides a safe space to discuss embarrassment and the importance of staying true to oneself even when the 'crown' falls off.
