The Tough Princess

Reach for this book when your child starts questioning traditional gender roles or feels pressured to fit into a specific mold. It is a perfect antidote to the passive princess trope, offering a refreshing look at self-determination and the joy of creating your own adventure. The story follows Princess Rosamund, who refuses to wait for a prince to rescue her and instead sets out to face giants and dragons on her own terms. While the setting is a classic fairy tale world, the emotional core is modern and empowering. Themes of independence, resilience, and self-confidence are woven into a humorous narrative that appeals to children aged 4 to 8. Parents will appreciate how the book gently pokes fun at outdated expectations while celebrating a protagonist who finds happiness by being true to herself rather than following a script.
