Princess Wannabe: A Refreshing Fairy Tale Story for Kids (Ages 4-8) About a Strong, Independent Girl

Fern just wants to know what it's like to be a princess—and she wants to find out for herself! With the help of a little fairy dust, Fern gets her wish. Follow Fern as she journeys into her favorite fairy tales to discover what the life of a princess is really like.

In this refreshing modern fairy tale, author-illustrator Leslie Lammle breathes new life into familiar classics with appealing watercolors and clever reinventions of characters like the Frog Prince and the Big Bad Wolf. Readers will cheer as strong, independent Fern finds her way through a not-so-traditional story.

Her watercolor illustrations have appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and in various magazines.
