Princesses Wear Pants

About this book

From TODAY show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie and educator Allison Oppenheim comes an empowering, #1 New York Times bestselling picture book about Princess Penelope--a royal who knows that fashion is fun, but doing good is what makes a true leader.Princess Penelope is a bold, spirited royal with a secret: her closet isn't just full of sparkly gowns; it's also packed with everyday pants! Penelope loves dresses for royal balls, but when it's time to ride horses, garden, science-experiment, or get work done around the kingdom, she knows that pants are the ultimate wardrobe choice.Unfortunately for Princess Penelope, not everyone in the Pineapple Kingdom thinks pants are always appropriate princess attire. When the grand Lady Busyboots demands that Princess Penelope must wear a gown to the annual Pineapple Ball, the young royal finds a clever way to express herself. Penelope's courage (and style choices) result in her saving the day!Featuring bright, cheerful illustrations by Eva Byrne, Princesses Wear Pants encourages young readers to embrace their authentic selves, celebrate functionality alongside fun, and remember that what you do matters far more than what you wear.
