Not All Princesses Dress In Pink

Submitted by Ms. Catherine!
When I was growing up, I was sure that there was nothing more fun than making mud soup, or rolling down a grass hill. Yet at the same time, I was definitely a very girly girl. In Not All Princesses Dress In Pink, by Jane Yolen and Heidi E. Y. Stemple, illustrated by Anne-Sophie Languetin, we meet a multitude of princesses who have their own way of being themselves. These princesses do not spend all of their time dressed in ball gowns and drinking tea with their little finger in the air. Instead they play baseball, take care of animals, have fun with friends, and defeat dragons (okay, maybe not real ones) all while wearing their best sparkly crowns. Yolen and Stemple have written a great book to help remind young girls that being true to yourself is what’s really important. Languetin’s bright and lovely illustrations are delightful; her princesses are having so much fun being themselves. This is a great book for any girl, whether she has a crown on her head, cleats on her feet, or both! See this book listed in our catalog
