Blackberry Book Tour

February 28 – March 03 Chapter book, 32 pages. Link for the book
Princess Fluffy wasn’t accepted as royalty. She didn’t have colorful fur like her sisters. Even her own parents, the King and Queen, treated her like a common Plumpkin. After many attempts to change the color of her fur, Princess Fluffy discovered that looking like a common Plumpkin had its advantages, and was able to do what her brother the Prince couldn’t β€” save the royal family from winter doom. The Kingdom named her a hero, but does that make her a real princess? Brimming with motivation and uplifting moments, this story is great for kids that may be experiencing difficulties with obesity, body shaming, or racial issues β€” or simply enjoy fairytales and lots of pink! “Fluffy and pink. No need to say more! This is a wonderful modern fairytale about belonging, acceptance and self-love.

“I can’t cope with so much cuteness.” – Carola Schmidt, bestselling children’s author and science writer



My Review

This book is a delightful celebration of ourselves and how it is great to be different, rather than trying to fit ourselves into a cookie-cutter mold.

Princess Fluffy has long white locks that would be the envy of many, except she doesn’t like them. Why? Because she’s part of the royal family, and the rest of her relatives tell her that only short, colored fur is okay for a royal. So Princess Fluffy starts to hate her long fur and has the gardener cut it short. Then she eats pink shoes and flowers. She even scarfs down a whole pink bicycle in an attempt to turn her fur pink! But even after eating pink stuff to bursting point, her fur only gets a pink tinge. She is so frustrated that she can’t fit in. The one advantage is she can play with the regular kids in the Kingdom because they don’t know she’s royalty.

Then a blizzard hits the Kingdom, and the only one who is camouflaged in the snow is Princess Fluffy. Not only does she stop the Kingdom from being attacked by the monster eagles, the Pooflies, but she also grabs some firewood and thus helps to heat the royal palace until the blizzard is over. Now that Princess Fluffy has saved the day due to her white fur blending into the snow, the royal family celebrates her and accepts her different fur type. At last, Princess Fluffy finds the acceptance she has always craved.

This is an uplifting story about learning to love yourself, instead of changing who you are, which kids will love. The illustrations are also super cute and and I guarantee Princess Fluffy will win a place in your heart!
