"As dad of a daughter who is discovering her magic and sense of who she is, this book truly is for her in every way! She is more than just a crown, she is also brave, smart and beautiful as the words in this book remind her every day!"
Peter Mutabazi, author of Now I Am Known
"This is a wonderful story featuring beautifully illustrated princesses representing their “kingdoms” at a royal dinner party with their families. Amina (whose father, the king, is hosting the event) gathers her friends for a chat about their experiences. The girls quickly realize that the tie that binds them is their desire and potential to do so much more than their princess duties dictate. Each princess describes their aspirations - which are as diverse as they are. They inspire the reader to dream big and use their voice to speak up and be heard! This book is perfect for independent reading or exploring together at bedtime. More Than A Crown delivers just that! A layered narrative about friendship, duty, aspirations, and advocacy rolled up in a story relatable to children and adults alike. A joy to read and re-read!"
Zulekha Holder-Young, author of I Am Smart, I Am Blessed, I Can Do Anything and I Am Amazing
