Description

Chloe dreams of being a ballerina princess. But today she is not practicing her twirls or leaping from room to room. She digs deep in her art drawer to find what she needs to craft her very own princess ballerina. The project quickly turns into more than a simple princess drawing. Chloe realizes that princesses are not just about beautiful hair and sparkly dresses. As her work of art comes to life, she discovers the qualities of character that make up her princess. When she feels insecure about an imperfection in her art, her dads point out that the personal quirks make her princess unique! And Chloe realizes that she is not too different from the princess she so admires. Princesses can look all kinds of way. What kind of princess are you?

Advance Praise

"It's about a girl who made a mistake, and her dads come in and say, 'It's beautiful, just like you.'" - Zoe, age 6, author's daughter.

"This book honors the magic of princesses while helping girls expand their definition of what a princess can truly be. Girls are brave, outspoken, imperfect, and self-aware -- and this book teaches girls that princesses can be, too." - Rachel Simmons, Bestselling Author of Odd Girl Out, The Curse Of The Good Girl, and Enough As She Is

"...an adorable book showing children that we don't have to be perfect in everything we do. Each person is perfect just the way they are. And it's great that the main character has two dads. We need more books like this that highlight LGBTQ families." - Eric Rosswood, Author of The Ultimate Guide for Gay Dads

"What I liked most was that the princess did not have to be perfect. It is wonderful for girls to see a princess who is smart, strong, and beautiful. However, I believe it is more important for them to know they don't have to be all those things all the time. Society puts so much pressure on women to always look and behave perfectly. Actively choosing to make Chloe's princess imperfect means it is ok for Chloe to also be imperfect. Which will also tell the girls and boys reading this book that they too can be imperfect." - Dinah Davis, Code Like a Girl

"Filled with the fuel young girls need to believe in themselves, this book carries the right message at the right time for the next generation of brave young women. It's a must read!" - Katherine Wintsch, Founder and CEO of The Mom Complex

"Everyone has qualities that don't show on the surface, but they are the most important things!" - MonkeyandMouse.co.uk

"As a gay parent, I can do nothing but applaud this breakthrough children's book. "What Does a Princess Really Look Like?" explores the thoughts of a young girl, deciding what her version of a princess should be. This is a must-have for any parent, as it thoughtfully and playfully exposes children to the empowering topics of feminism and diverse families. Two emphatic thumbs up!!" - Frank Lowe, @GayAtHomeDad

"...creative, philosophical and empowering. It sends a strong message to kids that being smart and strong are true and noble qualities in a person. Chloe is a wonderfully thoughtful character, and it's fantastic to see two dads in a book that'll soon be a favorite in our house!" - Brian Rosenberg, Co-Founder and CEO of Gays With Kids

"...a remarkable and much-needed story for our children. A story for all children, this lovingly written and beautifully illustrated book makes the listener and the reader realize that all things are possible and that we each possess the necessary seed to grow into our own best selves. Brava!" - Henry Amador-Batten, Founder of DADsquared

"...the confidence boosting, feel-good factor that we should be giving to all our little princesses. Not only does it deliver the message that we don't need to be perfect, it also shows the reader the truly important qualities that we need in ourselves, through everything that Chloe gives to her princess. Such a refreshing change that I highly applaud!" - Gemma Denham, Author/Illustrator of Me, Daddy & Dad


"As a child of LGBTQIA+ parents, I wish I had more books like this growing up. Chloe's creativity and inner strength flew off the page and into my heart. This book is wonderful for princesses of all kinds, especially those like Chloe with two dads. I'm excited to share this new book with other kids with LGBTQIA+ parents and caregivers everywhere!" - Kaley Fry, National Program Director of Colage.com


"This book illustrates you can be and look however you want. And you are perfect just as you are." - Dr. Ron Holt, psychiatrist, speaker, best-selling author.

"It's about a girl who made a mistake, and her dads come in and say, 'It's beautiful, just like you.'" - Zoe, age 6, author's daughter.
