About This Book
A parent would reach for this book to celebrate and encourage a child's deep dive into imaginative play, especially when that play involves dress-up and fantasy. "When I Wear My Tiara" follows a young girl who discovers that putting on a simple tiara transforms her ordinary world into a magical kingdom. Her sandbox becomes a royal garden, her art projects become maps of her realm, and a simple dance is a grand ball. The book beautifully illustrates the power of imagination to build self-confidence and find joy in everyday moments. It's a perfect, gentle read-aloud for preschoolers who love to pretend, affirming that the real magic comes from within themselves.
