The monkey is gathering all the jungle animals for a farting contest. The hippo, the elephant, a shy giraffe, and a very refined zebra are all competing, but no one can guess who the winner will be.

Rafael Ordóñez Cuadrado is a poet and author of picture books, riddles, stories, plays, and recipes. He has published scores of books with some of the most prestigious publishing houses in Spain: fairy tales, riddles, a comic, two plays, a book of tourism stories, and more.

Laure du Fäy studied illustration in the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg and lives in Paris. She has published comics in France and Italy, but her main focus is picture books for kids. She has published in the United States, France, Spain, Holland, Switzerland, and China. Her book That’s Not Normal! was selected by the White Ravens.

The book feels modern in its references and social cornerstones while retaining a classic, elegant style thanks to Wimmer's gorgeous portraits of the princesses in their crowns, each facing a page of that princess in action. Brown and Wimmer use diversity not only to highlight important differences among people, but also to show how these unique traits and interests allow every princess to choose her own path. If every girl is a little princess, this book shows that to keep that crown requires only finding things to love in life and pursuing them. ~Kirkus Star Review and BEST BOOKS OF 2018

There’s a princess closer than you think. You just have to open your eyes and your heart wide.

Don’t expect your typical fairytale princesses inside this book. These princesses are neighbors, schoolmates, the cashier at your supermarket, a lawyer, an architect…The Truly Brave Princesses will help you realize that, if you watch closely, princesses are all around you, and they are brave, caring and determined.
