About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they do not fit the traditional mold of their peers, especially if they are struggling with gendered expectations or the pressure to be 'ladylike' when they would rather be playing sports. This story follows Princess Emma during her first year at the Royal Princess Academy, where she finds herself more interested in soccer and dragon-riding than ballroom dancing or poise. It is a gentle fantasy that validates a child's need for autonomy and self-expression. Parents will appreciate the way it addresses the loneliness of being the 'odd one out' while maintaining a lighthearted, age-appropriate tone for early elementary readers. It is a perfect choice for encouraging a daughter to embrace her authentic interests, regardless of societal labels.
