Daddy's Little Princess

by Morgan E. Taylor, G.Todd Taylor

Six-year-old co-author Morgan E. Taylor thinks that every little girl should believe she's a Princess. Unfortunately, most of the common images of Princesses do not represent the rich diversity of royalty. Daddy's Little Princess introduces real-life African Queens and Princesses in all shades. This book educates, builds self-esteem and inspires young readers to embrace their greatness.

This is an awesome inspiring book for every little girl. I had the wonderful privilege to meet the author of this book, Morgan Taylor and her father, Todd Taylor. This book is a story of Morgan and her father. Her father always called her his "Little Princess," however, one day she told her father she could not be a real princess, "Because real princesses are not chocolate like me, princesses are vanilla." This made her father sad, so he opened his computer to search African Princesses. The book proceeds to introduce you to eight real princesses. This is a great story to share the history of many princesses that the students may have never heard of. I would recommend this book to be read to students K-3 to inspire them to know it does not matter the shade of our skin. This book educates, builds self-esteem, and inspires young readers to embrace their greatness.

I almost didn’t read past the 2nd page. I read this to my 7 year old daughter tonight and was very disappointed. I purchased this online so did not have the opportunity to see there there’s a white doll in the book which make the little girl feel like she can’t be a princess because she’s not white (or vanilla as the author put it). Your children will be who they are raised to be, don’t let them play with white dolls and they won’t feel inferior to white people. I think the author meant well but he missed the mark. We do not have to have white princesses in our girls minds to teach them about princesses of color. My daughter loss interest When we saw the white doll and all but closed the book the next few pages without illustrations.
Thank you for your review.
