Princess Planet: An Octet of Odes - Volume 2

An Octet of Odes Volume Two is a compilation of poems that premiers eight unique characters from Princess Planet. Each character is imagined with both magic and realism. They are created in a world that is as scientific as it is colorful, adventurous, and fun. All of the princesses’ stories are rooted in the realities of geography and history. They all reflect a love of learning and an appreciation for language, diversity, and culture. Authentic characters were created by women from all over the world, who aim to empower and celebrate diversity. Each story helps to increase cultural pride, inter-cultural understanding, inner beauty and self-worth. Volume One is the first book in the collection. Over time new characters and stories will be introduced to ensure there’s a princess for everyone! Visit www.PrincessPlanet.com for more.

Israel Cook the lead author and founder of Princess Planet started this journey a few years ago because of his daughter. He saw a large void in the princess characters she loved and the diversity that was available in the market place. From that point on he decided to be part of the solution and not to wait for other companies to invest in the next generation of princess lovers. Israel understands that so many cultures are underrepresented or misrepresented in children's entertainment. Israel and his team work hard to celebrate diversity without stereotyping culture and ethnicities.

"Any parent with a daughter can relate to the trouble of finding children's content that will provide them with 'true' cultural diversity. I started Princess Planet so our daughters can see themselves, their friends, and their classmates as princesses."
-CEO of Princess Planet, Israel Cook
