What a great way for girls to see that they can do whatever they want in the world.

Master children‘s author Yolen shows a princess can be anything she wants, and she does not need to wear pink. Highlighting activities and skills that do not require a pink gown, each princess demonstrates the power to be whatever she wants and do whatever she wants - construction, play soccer, even hip hop in overalls. Fun read! Letter N for #BBRC #A2Z

#SpringIntoReading Day 3: #PinkBooks remind me of tagged story which celebrates the many princesses with sparkly crowns who unabashedly refuse to wear pink. Truly an empowering story demonstrating how princesses can be warriors too – while wearing overalls, driving dump trucks, and dancing the fox-trot in blue. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-jfa

I liked the idea. Princesses who do non-typical princess things. But the rhyming text was interrupted by "and a sparkly crown!" each time, and it bugged me. Why do they have to wear crowns? Plus the rhyme interruption didn't work aesthetically.
