A Beautiful Story!

The Birthday Princess is a beautiful story! As an urban school librarian, I fell in love with this book. There are so many themes that immediately jumped out to me. Family, self-pride, the value of a village, father- daughter relationships are just a few. The illustrations are perfect and tell of story of its own. I can’t wait to share this with my students!

So Fun And Warm!

The author does a great job capturing how special birthdays are!! My nieces (7, 2 and 1) were so excited to see how the birthday princess would spend her big day! Being an aunt myself it felt special to see myself and my nieces in this book. A wonderful feel good read! Cant wait to see what the authoress comes out with next!

True Girl Fashion

I absolutely enjoyed reading The Birthday Princess, girls love mimicking adulthood and especially if it involves extra frills, and all things girly! From hair to nails, to poofy dresses it’s the exact duplication Mom loves to see :)
