Synopsis

A Top Ten Title, 2015 American Library Association Rainbow List

Who do you want to be: a princess? Pirate? Teacher or scientist?
And where would you like to play: a castle? Pirate ship? Library or spacelab?
It’s your decision to make, so think away. Your imagination and thoughts can create pictures and scenes, the most beautiful amazing picturesque dreams!

Not Every Princess takes readers on a poetic journey gently questioning the rigid construction of gender roles and inspiring readers to access their imaginations and challenge societal expectations. It intends to encourage all of those princesses and pirates who did not fall into a life of castles and boats that they too are no less than what they dream to be. 

A Note to Parents provides useful advice and strategies to help children imagine, play, and ultimately envision and inspire themselves beyond the limited roles and expectations that gender stereotypes create.

Review:

A Top Ten Title, 2015 ALA Rainbow List

“The authors keep their messaging to a minimum; coupled with the emotion and humor in Docampo’s artwork, it goes a long way to helping the book feel like a book and not just a resource.”—Publisher’s Weekly

“This is another example of the excellent and instructive books published by the American Psychological Association.”—Spirituality and Practice

“The thrust and charm of the poem is sweetly powerful, perfectly expressed and complemented by the swirling, stunning illustrations by Valeria Docampo. Not Every Princess is a children's title that constitutes required reading for all children (and their parents)....Not Every Princess has a strong positive message about using one’s imagination to awaken one’s full potential, and is highly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review
