Reviews
The Snapdragon Princess is an uplifting story that will inspire children to discover the hero inside each of us!
I love this story because it reminds all of us that you don't have to read a history book to be inspired, your biggest inspiration could be sitting right next to you.
Kim is a great mother and role model to girls of all ages, and her children's tale is sweet and sentimental.
A heartwarming story of a young girl who finds inspiration and a role model in sometimes forgotten world for many... her family. Kudos in bringing the ones who are real role models to life.
With Snapdragon Princess, Kim Parrish and Deb Landry capture that special connection between a girl and her grandmother, reaching across the generations to discover that they both share the dream of being a princess. And what girlfriend - whether she's 8 or 80 - hasn't wanted to glitter and shine? Every family has its own trunk with creaking hinges that contains a treasure trove of memories and history, and no politician or inventor or movie star's story could ever be more significant than that of a loved one. As the mother of two young girls, I love that this beautiful story is here to remind our daughters of this simple fact.
The Snapdragon Princess is a tale of genuine success. It combines imagination and history to demonstrate that no matter the circumstance, dreams really do come true. As the old saying goes, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." I endorse this book without reservation and shall recommend it to dreamers of all ages for many years to come.
In a world where strong female role models aren't easy to find, Kim Parrish shows us that sometimes we need to look no further than our own backyards. The Snapdragon Princess is a delightful introduction to the idea of dreaming big, and reminds little girls (and grown-ups too) that no goal should ever be considered out of reach.
The Snapdragon Princess is a inspirational story that highlights the power of multigenerational relationships and the impact one woman can have on the life of a little girl. But, most importantly it tells the story about a young woman who demonstrates that if you have a dream, you don't have to be famous to make it a reality.
Kim Parrish and Deb Landry have created a sweet and inspirational tale that is sure to win the hearts of every young princess. The book's message that "ordinary people can do extraordinary things" is positively refreshing!
From Kim's own knowledge of wearing a "crown" to a successful clothing designer, on-air TV personality, mother and now author -- Kim's life long experiences help all of us "little or big" girls to take pride in ourselves and to celebrate our accomplishments!
This beautiful story of a little girl inspired to do great things is a tale that every child should hear. As someone who was greatly encouraged and motivated by my grandmother growing up, the story of the Snapdragon Princess brought back wonderful memories.
Now more than ever, our young girls of today need stories of inspiration to help build their self-esteem and discover their self-worth. Through the story of McKenzie's Grandmother, Kim reminds today's girls that all things are possible when you never lose focus on what you want to achieve. The Snapdragon Princess is a reminder for the little girl in ALL of us that dreams can come true and inspiration can be found right at home.
This inspiring story captivates readers as they follow young McKenzie, whose mind is opened to the wonders of the past and possibilities of the future when she discovers a surprising secret about her grandmother. A must read!
We all have stories from our childhood that stay with us for a lifetime. A tale of inspiration and imagination, Snapdragon Princess is one of those stories.
