The Princess Secret

When children think of fairy tales, they often 

think of sparkly dresses, magic wands, and castles. But if we look 

closely, many classic fairy tales are also stories about resilience. Before 

a girl becomes a princess in these stories, she often has to get through 

something difficult—scrubbing floors, escaping a tower, or walking 

through a dark forest. We want to gently help our children see that being

brave when things get hard is often part of what it means to earn a 

happy ending.
