The Warrior Princess is a yogi's tale of facing and overcoming obstacles. On a deeper level, it is about learning about oneself and one’s inner strength, knowing you are valuable just as you are. The story begins with the narrator, a fox, asking its listeners to settle in for the tale of the Warrior Princess. The heroine of the story seeks to find her true self. She asks everyone, and the world tells her. The giraffe says she’s too short. The peacock says she’s not as pretty as her. The frog says she’s not the right color. She is afraid they are right, but she pushes on because she is the Warrior Princess and deep down their answers don’t feel right. She learns that these self-doubts are part of the obstacles that keep her from seeing her true self. She finds the truth with the help of a wise old lion. More than a tale affirming one's self-worth, this book engages children in open-ended conversation, interactive activities in the vein of ISpy, and serves an introduction to the self-empowering world of yoga. The story comes alive with colorful characters in beautiful landscapes. Playful sub-story imagery, such as the caterpillar who appears eight times until you spy him encased in his cocoon soon to be a butterfly, adds another layer of interactive fun. Tucked into every spread are hidden yoga poses waiting to be discovered.
