Grace has always wanted to be a princess so when the chance to be one in the carnival comes along, she jumps at it. But what exactly do princesses do? Just standing there in a pink dress doesn’t seem to be enough. Luckily Grace finds out that there are all kinds of other princesses who are brave and clever and she and her friends can each be one. (Book Ahead 0-7 )

Format:Hardcover
This is a terrific book with great pictures and an uplifting story that really engages children.
I bought it after a girl at my 5 year old daughter's school told her that she couldn't be a Princess because she doesn't have blonde hair and blue eyes. My daughter - who loves everything to do with Princesses - was devestated and clearly troubled by this. So I went looking for books that illustrated that Princesses come in all shapes and sizes, not just the "Disney" stereotype.
Princess Grace proved to be a big help. It tells the story of a little girl who's worried that she can't be a Princess in her school parade because she doesn't think she looks like a Princess. Her teacher helps by finding stories of Princesses from all over the world who not only look different but are all reknowned for different talents and achievements - not just being pretty and wearing pink!
Not only does my daughter love this book but so do all her friends regardless of their colour. She even took it to school for reading time and it was a big hit with the whole class - including the boys!

I bought this book for my four year old daughter who loved "Amazing Grace". She loves this one even more and we read it most nights at her request. Grace, like many real girls I know, loves hearing about fairy tale princesses, but discovers there is more than one way of being pretty in the story, and that real princesses don't just sit around looking beautiful. Great story, great role model, lovely illustrations.

I purchased this Princess Grace for my God daughter Lucia. The book arrived within 7 days from ordering it and in FANTASTIC condition. I will buy the collection for another young child because the language in the book is appropriate. A beautiful adventurous book with excellent visuals and likeness to children of African Caribbean origin. A MUST buy.
