Little Princesses, Big Hearts (Paperback)

Five brave princesses. Five magical adventures. Five big lessons for little hearts.

Welcome to a kingdom of sparkling rivers, glowing castles, strawberry gardens and one very lonely little dragon. In Little Princesses, Big Hearts, children meet Amara, Lila, Mei, Zara and Rosie, five kind and curious princesses who each learn something important about being a good friend and a good person.

Every story is told across beautiful full-colour pages, with friendly comic-style speech bubbles and fun sound effects like CRASH!, BUMP! and HUFF! PUFF! that make reading aloud extra fun. Each story ends with a special "Today's Lesson" page and a simple "Talk About It" question, so bedtime reading becomes a warm, meaningful chat between you and your child.

THE FIVE STORIES

Princess Amara and the Broken Bridge
A storm snaps the village bridge in two, and Amara is determined to fix it all by herself. But the logs are far too heavy for one princess! When she finally asks the farmer, the baker, the blacksmith and the village children for help, something wonderful happens.
Lesson: We are stronger together.

Princess Lila and the Royal Vase
Lila was told not to play ball inside, but she throws it just once... CRASH! The Queen's favourite vase lies in pieces. Hiding them under the rug seems easy, until a twisty tummy and a sleepless night show Lila that the truth is worth being brave for.
Lesson: Telling the truth takes courage.

Princess Mei and the Tiny Dragon
Everyone runs away from the little purple dragon in the forest. But Mei hears him crying, sits down beside him and offers to share her picnic. A kind hello turns into marshmallow toasting, flights over the treetops and a whole village of new friends.
Lesson: Kindness turns strangers into friends.

Princess Zara Learns to Ride
Zara's new pony, Clover, is perfect, but staying on her is not! After one bump too many, Zara wants to give up. With her grandmother's gentle wisdom and a lot of practice, Zara discovers that every fall teaches you something new.
Lesson: Never give up!

Princess Rosie's Sharing Garden
Rosie grows the biggest, juiciest strawberries in the kingdom and keeps every single one for herself. When two hungry children peek through her garden gate, Rosie makes a choice that fills her garden, and her heart, with more joy than ever.
Lesson: Sharing makes happiness grow.

THE LESSONS INSIDE

Teamwork, honesty, kindness, perseverance and sharing are some of the most important things we hope our children learn. These stories show them in action, through moments children will recognise: making a mistake, feeling left out, wanting to give up and learning to share. Each princess makes a choice, and each choice shows how good it feels to be kind, brave and true.
