Power to the Princess

Book Description:

What if princesses didn't always marry Prince Charming and live happily every after? A stunning anthology of 15 favourite fairy tales have been retold for a new generation.

These princesses are smart, funny, and kind, and can do anything they set their minds to. They are: Snow White - champion of real beauty; Sleeping Beauty - specialist on sleeping disorders; Thumbelina - music producer and advocate; Rapunzel - world-famous architect; Belle the Brave - undercover agent; Elisabeth and the Wild Swans - fashion designer; Cinderella - Prime Minister and businesswoman; Star and the 12 Dancers - dancer; The Goose Girl - stand-up comedian; Princess Sevinah (and the Pea) - founder of the Fairyland Dating Service; The Snow Queen - winter sports coach; The Little Mermaid - advocate for peace between mer-people and humans; Zade - storyteller (of 1001 tales) and businesswoman; Evangeline (The Frog Princess) - natural historian; Little Red Riding Hood environmentalist and Princess of the Wolves.

Focused on issues including self-image, confidence, LGBTQ, friendship, advocacy, and disability, these stories are perfect for sharing between parents and children, or for older princesses or princes to read by themselves. They teach that a princess is a person who seeks to help others, is open to learning new things, and looks for ways to add purpose to their lives and the lives of those around them.
