The message of self-love and self-care in this book is so important for all little girls to learn. This book beautifully illustrates what self-care looks like for little girls through the exciting fun-filled day that Kiyah spends with the Birthday Queen on their birthday. This book is an absolute must read for girls, young and old alike. I’m ordering an extra copy so that I can give it as a gift to my brother’s granddaughter!

I am 29 years old and this book made me cry. This goes to show you that we need books like this to show our young black girls that they are loved, beautiful and deserves to be treated like a princess! We definitely need more books like this for young black girls to read and be excited about!

I LOVED reading this book to my young niece. It was a great story with such a much-needed positive message for young Black girls. I wish I had this book when I was growing up, but I am happy that it exists today. I think every little girl deserves to read this story. Highly recommend.
Alyson Bowen –
We’re happy it exists too! Thanks Breanna!

The Birthday Princess is a beautiful story! As an urban school librarian, I fell in love with this book. There are so many themes that immediately jumped out to me. Family, self-pride, the value of a village, father- daughter relationships are just a few. The illustrations are perfect and tell a story of its own. I can’t wait to share this with my students!

My nieces are 3 and 6 and they both absolutely loved this book! Representation is so important along with a book that’s relatable. My oldest niece’s first comment was “hey is that me!? We have the same hair and same face!” She clearly sees herself and of course I told her yep that’s you! 10/10 recommend for all the little brown boys and girls everywhere! Well written, beautiful illustrations, hopefully there’s more to come!
