This is me channeling Audrey Hepburn
One of my favorite children's books is
The Princess and the Pea. Written and illustrated by Rachel Isadora.
I love this story because it removes the stereotypes usually associated with princesses, white with blond hair and blue eyes, and replaces it with someone with whom little girls like me will be able to identify. This will help boost their self-esteem and improve their self-concept.
This book was not around when I was a child, but I had other great writers like Toni Morrison and Alice Walker to help me learn to appreciate my differences.
