Real Princesses Change the World

There are so many ideas of what princesses are: Princesses are sweet, beautiful, and gracious. Princesses wear poofy dresses and strut about their castle. Princesses are just searching for a handsome prince. But what message does that send to the children who look up to them? This picture book compiles biographies of eleven princesses, highlighting who they truly are: diplomats, engineers, activists, athletes, and so much more. It focuses on their achievements and contributions, situating them as active members in the global and local community. With stunning portraits done by the bestselling illustrator Dung Ho, Real Princesses Change the World showcases princesses in an empowering, feminist light that is both accessible and engaging for young readers.
