Not Every Princess

A Top Ten Title, 2015 American Library Association Rainbow List

Not Every Princess takes readers on a journey that gently questions the rigid construction of gender roles.

Not Every Princess inspires 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. Also included is a Note to Parents and Caregivers filled with 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.

Valeria Docampo began to draw driven by the desire to capture the poetry of everyday things. Since 2006 she has been dedicated to children's illustration. She currently lives in Lyon, France.
