Every Little Girl Deserves To Feel Like A Princess
Nationwide — Entertainment, business and fashion attorney, and entrepreneur, Eldonie Mason has released her first children’s book featuring a Black princess from the Caribbean. Mason, a native of the Caribbean Island of Antigua, came up with the idea for The Adventures of Princess Anyah of Antibarba: The Fishing Expedition when her 5-year-old niece told her she could not be a princess because all princesses are white and have long hair.“My heart broke in that moment and I wanted to cry,” said Eldonie. “I knew I could no longer sit idly by while my niece and other little girls like her felt they were not worthy to be a princess. Every little girl deserves to feel like a princess.”
What started as a story to cheer up Mason’s niece, is now a globally available children’s book that can be found on online retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
“Representation matters and if little girls like my niece can see themselves as princesses, then they will not feel less than,” the author commented.
