My thoughts: While this is a publication from Christian publishing, Tommy Nelson, there is no direct reference to Scripture or Biblical story. However, the "Princess" is indicative of a Child of the King. The king is the "Lion King." Christians are consider to be a child of the King and the Lion King is representative of the King of Kings, Lord Jesus Christ.
The story involves a crew of delightfully drawn dogs living in the palace. The Princess is a dalmatian and is protected by her security team, a Lab/Retriever and a Border Collie. As the Princess goes on a visit to the Royal Savanna animals a monkey snatches her sparkly crown. While her security team is chasing the monkey to retrieve the crown, the Princess goes about meeting several different species of animals.
Eventually the crown is retrieved but alas it is now broken. The Princess' visit to the savanna animals has ended and she reports back to her father, the king. He praises her for her kindness to the animals she met, and hence she discovers her purpose - kindness.
A sweet lesson in overcoming personal disappointment while learning to be kind to others as a way of life. Also, a good lesson in the more value to place on being good and kind rather than place value in objects.
I especially like the happy, bright and colorful illustrations and felt that they make the story really engaging to read.
About the book: Anti-trafficking advocate and former Miss Universe and Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Tebow encourages young readers to find their purpose and help others in need in her first children’s book about a princess who loses her crown, starring Demi’s real-life dog Paris the dalmatian.
When her crown is stolen, Princess Paris fears she’ll never get it back. How can she represent her king without her crown? She doesn’t feel much like a princess and worries all the animals on the Royal Savanna won’t take her seriously without it. But as each animal Paris meets faces a unique problem, she discovers that being a princess requires more than wearing a shiny crown. Secret word: royal
This adventurous story is paw-fect for ages 4 to 8,focuses on finding your purpose and being kind, is a creative conversation starter between parents and children about helping others, and is a perfect choice for a nursery display or a baby shower or birthday gift.
