For any girl who has ever felt like she does not fit in,
artist/author Joyelle Brandt has written a fun and meaningful book about the
beauty of our individuality. Princess
Monsters from A to Z is a charming collection of lovable characters, from
wrestling champion Elian, to troublemaker Mayzee, to the cat juggling Zibbo.
This book is a must-read for parents and kids alike. Says Brandt of why she
wrote the book:
"I
always felt like an outsider growing up. I was kind of awkward and different. I wanted to make a space for all the weirdos
like me. I want girls to read this book and see themselves in it, and know that
there is so much more to be than just pretty."
The Princess Monsters have a diverse range of interests, from art
to science to dispute mediation. Each character's description is written in
rhyming verse, making this an entertaining read-aloud bedtime story. But the
best part of the book is the empty picture frame on the first page, a space
left for its readers to create their own princess monsters.
"I want to inspire
girls to imagine whatever kind of life they want for themselves. And maybe that
starts with imagining what her Princess Monster self might look like."
The book also comes with a song titled "Monster in Me". Parents can
download an MP3 of the song after they purchase the book to sing along with.
