Reach for this book when your child is grappling with perfectionism or feeling the weight of a 'big day' expectations. It is the perfect antidote for a little one who melts down when things don't go exactly as planned, or for a child who is just beginning to transition from being read to toward independent reading. This story is designed to build confidence through laughter and relatable frustration. The plot follows a Queen who is getting ready for a party, only to face a series of increasingly silly mishaps with her wardrobe.
