Critics Review
Imaginative Princess Pete, who loves blue wellies, butterfly sandals, getting mucky and playing salons, doesn’t always feel like a boy or a girl – but their parents accept them just as they are in this inclusive, softly sparkling picture book. – Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *
For a positive and uplifting picture book about the LGBTQ+ experience, look no further than Princess Pete… It’s a simple yet beautiful tale about self-acceptance, accompanied by joyful illustrations. – Prudence Wade * Press Association *
“Princess Pete made my heart sing! A sweet, kind, funny story about being yourself.” * Lisa Williamson, author of The Art of Being Normal *
Such language might very well be used by non-binary or gender-fluid children who have yet to acquire those words; it’s a good way help them explain how they feel, age- appropriately, especially if, as is shown in one of Frenci’s scenes, people are finger pointing at the protagonist. An affirming story for all. – Jill R Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
