About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts to feel limited by gender stereotypes or expresses that they can only play with certain toys because of who they are. It serves as a gentle yet powerful reminder that interest in traditionally feminine things like tiaras does not preclude an interest in science, medicine, or adventure. The story follows a young girl who enjoys the magic of being a princess but quickly realizes her true power lies in her diverse skills and future career possibilities. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and young elementary students who are navigating their sense of identity and self-confidence. By showing that a crown can be swapped for a pilot's helmet or a doctor's stethoscope, the book encourages girls to embrace a multi-faceted sense of self and dream without boundaries.
