About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is feeling cooped up on a rainy day and needs a playful reminder that boredom is only temporary. It serves as a colorful bridge between indoor restlessness and the excitement of physical play once the weather clears. The story follows a group of princesses who transition from gloomy indoor lounging to a high energy soccer match. Nick Sharratt's signature bold illustrations and rhyming text make this an ideal choice for the 2 to 5 age range. It subtly teaches patience and the value of teamwork without being heavy handed. Parents will appreciate how it subverts traditional princess tropes, showing these characters as active, sporty, and capable of having messy fun. It is a perfect tool for modeling how to shift from a bad mood to a positive, active mindset.
