The book is crammed full of motivation to encourage self-worth, and sends a wonderful message to children of all ages and gender.

Starting with her head, Chloe soon realises that princesses are not just about beautiful hair and sparkly dresses. Oh, and she just so happens to have two dads.Ĭhloe dreams of being a Ballerina, but today she’s not practising her twirls, she decides to explore her craft drawer and sets out on making her very own princess ballerina. Going on what the TV said, I certainly was not a Princess.Īs part of the up and coming Brave Like a Girl Series, the author, Mark Loewen, writes about Chloe and her adventure to create her very own Princess. Although my mum raised my sister and I away from this, it was hard when the TV you watched said otherwise. Girl’s aspirations were based around beauty and pretty things. Girls were treated very differently and certainly weren’t encouraged to do ‘boys’ things. Many years ago, however, things weren’t like this. Therefore, this needs to be reflected early on, whether it’s in the games that we play, the films we watch, and the books we read. You could say that we’re raising a little feminist. As two mums raising a son, it’s imperative to us that he grows up knowing that women are equal to men.
