This book isn't just about hoops and dreams; it's about being a badass, breaking stereotypes, and conquering the world with flair. So, if you want your kids to learn about confidence, humor, and owning who they are, Princess Max is a great read that'll have them cheering for the real MVP – Max!

This was such an endearing story about staying true to yourself. I personally resonated with this story from some of my own experiences as a Nonbinary person, and I wish we had more stories like this when I was younger.

We follow Princess Max and his overflowing confidence as he faces and overcomes difficulty in acceptance. The story is perfect for middle grade children who may also find they struggle to fit in and need the representation to understand there are other people out there that are like them.
