Summary:
One fine morning, a group of giggling maids flutter into the bedroom of the beautiful Princess Pompeline and call out: ‘Wake up, Your Royal Highness! Today is a special day!’ Thus begins – in classic fairy tale fashion – the story of Pompeline, who defies all the conventions of the court to follow her heart. About a princess who is supposed to marry, but falls in love not with a prince, but with a princess.

Comment:
Brigitte Minne’s book focuses on the courage to embrace one’s own identity. The story is about Princess Pompeline, who breaks with royal expectations: instead of marrying the prince she is supposed to marry, she gives her heart to another princess. The book is a powerful plea for diversity and tolerance that questions outdated norms. The child-friendly narrative is supplemented by a helpful appendix for educators and parents.
