Anagrania's Challenge

Are there power struggles and arguments going back and forth in your family? Do you have a hard time convincing your children of the benefits of whole foods? Ask for help from the Golden Grain Princess in this coming-of-age story that turns conflict into opportunity! Try creative conflict resolution with a princess who has the courage to express herself!

The Golden Grain Princess reaches the age when a princess should receive "proper" education. The kingdom councillors have her undergo many stressful fashion trials, which eventually cause the princess to rise up against the impositions and find an out-of-the-box solution. The creative solution for the conflict engages all parties in a Golden Grain Festival that celebrates diversity and uniqueness. A transformative message about self-acceptance and celebration!

A coming-of-age story that transforms a common children's story theme into a lesson on self-love, creative conflict resolution, and wholesome eating.

Through the allegory of the wheat grain's journey, the story makes a case for whole grain nutrition.
