You've probably stood next to a princess without even realizing it. We're surrounded by them. We just don't realize it because they don't always wear their crowns.
When we think of princesses, we imagine castles and fairy tales, princes and dragons, but not all princesses belong to the realm of fantasy. There are princesses all around us. Princesses who work, pursue their dreams, live love stories, take care of others and themselves… Modern-day princesses.
You surely know one; perhaps the cashier at the supermarket, your classmate, or your mother, your grandmother, or even you!
A celebration of smart, courageous, modern princesses, of different ages, interests, and professions who aren’t waiting around to be rescued.
Reviews of the book The Truly Brave Princesses.
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 Reviews.
Brown’s inclusive message is full-hearted and genuine. – Publishers Weekly.
Meet Princess Alice, a surfing blogger; Princess Kristen, an aspiring superheroine; Princess Nin, a firefighting city gardener; and many other princesses in this colorful tribute to the beautiful diversity, strength, and inspiration found in women of all ages, shapes, and walks of life. – Foreword Reviews.
Dolores Brown thinks that society speaks too often of the “perfect” princess, when in reality, few women actually resemble that traditional idea. Instead, Dolores tries to change the concept in order to make other princesses —the truly brave princesses— relevant to the world.
