About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a situation where they feel small, unheard, or trapped by the expectations of others. It is an empowering choice for children who need to see that their inner talents and resourcefulness are more valuable than their outward appearance or social status. Through the journey of a princess who must flee an unfair marriage, the story highlights how self-reliance and creativity can lead to a new life where one is valued for their actual contributions. While the story originates from the Grimm Brothers' 'Allerleirauh,' this version focuses on the protagonist's cleverness rather than just her luck. It is perfectly suited for elementary-aged children who are beginning to navigate their own independence. Parents will appreciate the beautiful illustrations and the sophisticated tone that treats the child's intelligence with respect. It provides a wonderful opening to discuss how we can use our unique skills to solve big problems.
