About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to question the 'rules' of traditional stories or expresses a desire for more agency in their own life. It is an ideal choice for a reader who feels constrained by expectations and wants to experiment with different personality traits: from being a brave commoner to a misunderstood monster. This modern, fractured fairy tale reimagines the Hans Christian Andersen classic as an interactive journey. By allowing children to step into the shoes of a girl named Princess, a distracted prince, or a determined queen, it fosters empathy and critical thinking. It is perfectly pitched for the 8 to 12 age range, offering a safe space to explore identity and the idea that our choices, rather than our titles, define who we are. It is a playful yet effective way to build self-confidence and independence.
