Pragmatic Princess: 26 Superb Stories of Self-Sufficiency

Pragmatic Princess: 26 Superb Stories of Self-Sufficiency is an A-Z compilation of short stories about self-reliance designed for children aged 3 to 8+. The fictional characters in childhood stories are some of our earliest teachers. We learn a range of things through the observation of these symbolic models, such as what is right and wrong, a desirable and undesirable behavior, gender roles, norms, stereotypes, and more. The role of models is particularly influential in childhood as it can have a long lasting impact on intellectual, social, emotional, and moral development. This is why it is critical to have stories that move beyond the belief that female characters are best suited as damsels in distress or need superpowers to be successful. Pragmatic Princess is not just changing the narrative, it's doing so with the power of science behind it! Within each story in the collection, the main character is confronted with an age-appropriate challenge, such as fear of missing out and schoolyard bulling, and models various skills and strategies that can be to navigate these challenges, such as perspective taking and flexible thinking. the use of real-world situations, combined with a diverse cast, helps readers relate to the characters and experiences, which is critical to fostering successful learning of skills modeled in each of the stories. Pragmatic Princess won an Next Generation Indie Book Award for "Educational Children's pIcture Book" in 2020.
