Chloe dreams of being a ballerina princess. But today she is not practicing her twirls or leaping from room to room. She digs deep in her art drawer to find what she needs to craft her very own princess ballerina. The project quickly turns into more than a simple princess drawing. Chloe realizes that princesses are not just about beautiful hair and sparkly dresses. As her work of art comes to life, she discovers the qualities of character that make up her princess. When she feels insecure about an imperfection in her art, her dads point out that the personal quirks make her princess unique! And Chloe realizes that she is not too different from the princess she so admires. Princesses can look all kinds of way. What kind of princess are you? Pre-Release Reviews and Endorsements: "...an adorable book showing children that we don't have to be perfect in everything we do ...And it's great that the main character has two dads..." - Eric Rosswood, Author of The Ultimate Guide for Gay Dads "...Society puts so much pressure on women to always look and behave perfectly.

Two emphatic thumbs up!!" - Frank Lowe, @GayAtHomeDad "...creative, philosophical and empowering. It sends a strong message that being smart and strong are true and noble qualities in a person.

She loved it! Especially when she discovered that Chloe has two dads like her. A great story, and beautiful illustrations!" - Juan Luque, 2 Dads + 4 Kids "...a breath of fresh air for children of different ages, providing the very essence that children can have dreams and be very creative with those dreams. Nevertheless, they can also learn to accept change and very importantly have parents, irrespective of their background, that are loving and so very supportive. A book of many hidden morals, I loved it." - Erika Tranfield, Director and Co-founder of Pride Angel
