What We're Reading: Brenda


Princesses Are Not Quitters! by Kate Lum with Illustrations by Sue Hellard

Princesses Are Not Quitters tells the story of three princesses from a different angle than your typical fairy tale. The princesses are bored with their daily lives and decide to liven things up by trading roles with the servant girls for a day. They think it will be fun to get to do chores but they soon realize that being a servant is hard work! They can't quite do all of the chores correctly and they work all day until they are exhausted but they don't want anybody to say that princesses are quitters. The next morning they awaken with a new found sense of pride and accomplishment and decide to change things for good by continuing to share in the workload! This book has a wonderful message and it is refreshing to see the topic of princesses discussed without focusing on physical beauty and handsome princes. The illustrations are humorous and full of silly details that will keep you laughing. Overall a great book for little girls and be sure to watch for "Princesses Are Not Perfect" which will be coming out this spring.
