I'm not a fan of these princess books. But ivy loves them. This one had a reasonable moral to the story, about not trying to say you're better than others when you're not, being happy for your friends when they are good at something, and not lying.

A really lovely book about understanding and dealing with worries. Age appropriate for younger readers, this helps but context to a feeling.

Again me and ivy both loved this book. She said that it helped her know what to do if she gets angry at not getting something right <3

Once you get the rhythm it's really satisfying to read. The kids both loved it, and have asked for a lot of re-reads.

I just love this book, it's brilliant. Let the kids be who they want to be <3

Just brilliant, Greta is such an inspiration, and such a great role model. My daughter loved reading about her.

Chosen by my daughter who is 5. This led to some tricky but necessary conversations.

This one didn't really do it for me if I'm honest.

More genius from Pratchett, although I didn't enjoy this as much as the previous two, it seemed to sag in the middle, where not much happened. But I am very much looking forward to more Granny Weatherwax in the future! What a character!

Ivy chose this one. I had not heard of Wilma Rudolph before, and I'm so glad that we were able to learn about her together. What an absolutely inspirational woman.

Weeeeeirrd one. I know it's meant to be. But something about it just didn't really work for me.

More wonderful weirdness from Gaiman. This time a pleasant and light kind of weirdness, opposed to dark and unpleasant weirdness! Great illustrations, and just beautifully odd. I really enjoyed it.

A great, very short read.

Still beautiful, still stunning. Totally worth a re-read. Still one of the most special, stunning books I own.
