Purchase options and add-ons

Celebrate girl power in this exuberant, mischievously illustrated picture book that shows little princesses that they can be whoever they want to be!

Not all princesses dress in pink.
Some play in bright red socks that stink,
blue team jerseys that don’t quite fit,
accessorized with a baseball mitt,
and a sparkly crown!

Princesses come in all kinds. Some jump in mud puddles and climb trees, play sports and make messes—all while wearing their tiaras! Not every girl has a passion for pink, but all young ladies will love this empowering affirmation of their importance and unlimited potential.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1—This rhyming antidote to the many cloying princess books asserts that "Some [princesses] play in bright red socks that stink,/blue team jerseys that don't quite fit,/ accessorized with a baseball mitt,/and a sparkly crown." This is followed by spreads showing girls riding bikes, doing carpentry, and getting muddy while dancing with dogs in the rain—all while wearing their crowns. There's not really a story in this smoothly written yet somewhat didactic narrative, but the message is one worth hearing, and the whimsy is appealing. Some of the details in the colorful, computer-generated illustrations, in particular the girls' facial expressions, are a bit lacking, but the book's overall design is attractive.—Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL

Review

* “Lanquetin’s digitally rendered illustrations depict girls of all shapes, sizes and colors; they are mischievous, exuberant, dirty, exhausted, serious and, most of all, authentic. A joyful and much-needed antidote to the precious pink pestilence that has infested picture books aimed at girls.”

-- KIRKUS, May 15, 2010, * STAR

    Heidi E.Y. Stemple didn’t want to be a writer when she grew up. In fact, after she graduated from college, she became a probation officer in Florida. It wasn’t until she was 28 years old that she gave in and joined the family business, publishing her first short story in a book called Famous Writers and Their Kids Write Spooky Stories. The famous writer was her mom, author Jane Yolen. Since then, she has published almost 40 books and numerous short stories and poems, mostly for children.

    Heidi lives and writes on a big old farm in Massachusetts that she shares with one very large cat who lives inside, and a dozen deer, a family of bears, three coyotes, two bobcats, a gray fox, tons of birds, and some very fat groundhogs who live outside. Once a year, she calls and counts owls for the Audubon Christmas Bird Count.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, Cathchy phrases, kids loved it!

Bought this for my kindergarten classroom to help incorporate the talk about differences. My students absolutely loved it as I had several students that hated the color pink and did not like to wear dresses. Pictures were colorful and words had a catchy phrase that repeated throughout the book which of the kids caught on too quickly. I would definitely recommend!

I love this book. Great gift for a little girl. espcially if you want to remind them that girls can do many things, like play sports, go fishing etc. Great message in a fun way! I bought this for a gift and plan on giving a cute fabric crown to go with it since the book talks about wearing a crown. Adorable idea and a great gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars There is a sentence about not wearing pink like others said

Such a cute book, but For a 5 year old. My 3 year old didn't really get it. There is a sentence about not wearing pink like others said, but I didn't think it was a big deal, and we are really in to pink. I would recommend hearing the book on YouTube and deciding. My daughter just said "I like pink, I would wear pink", and that was just fine. Lovely book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for the Future Feminist
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019

Absolutely love this book so much that I ended up buying one for all my friends and sister-in-laws. The books really just says that no matter what you like, what you want to do, and what you look like, you can do it and still be as amazing as you are. The pictures are fun, the rhyme is clever, the book is sturdy and high-quality, and they don't stick out awkwardly from the shelf (a good size). I would recommend this for any girl that's old enough to appreciate a book. You could get it for a boy, but it does only talk about and show girls in the story.

So cute and great for little girls to learn that you dont have to fit into a mold. But it is okay to still love "girly" things. I think this is so important in a world where you are either "girly" or a feminist. There is a middle ground and we need to learn to embrace it. I think this would be a good book for boys as well, this is a lesson that is good for all to learn.

This book tells girls that they can play with anything they want, climb, get dirty, dress in anything they please - and still be a princess. I bought this for a couple of my 5-9 year old princesses.

5.0 out of 5 stars empowered "princesses"
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012

This book is FANTASTIC!! I want my kids (boy and girl) to know that girls can be feminine and girly without being weak. Wanting to wear pink and sparkles does NOT equal being less than men or bad at math or anything of the sort. My daughter can - if SHE wants to - wear as much frilly sparkly stuff as she sees fit - and still be smart and strong and confident. This book is a jem. SO grateful for it. thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good feminist book for young girls
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2016

My 4 year old enjoys looking through the pictures and talking about what the princesses get up to. Someone else mentioned that it might have been ok if the book had a princess who does wear pink. My daughter loves pink though she is a tomboy and I think the title of the book causes her conflict. But it's a good feminist book for young girls in general.
