Reviews
Amusing, informative, and relatable, for young readers and caregivers alike.--Kirkus Reviews
A Black girl leaves school one day and announces to her mother that she is going to be a princess; on the way home, her mother offers alternative real-life Black women role models, but Maya will not be swayed. A simple question, however, leads to understanding and a lesson in assumptions. --Danielle Ballantyne, Foreword Reviews
