The Fairest in the Land cover

A heartwarming, inclusive story about self-expression and friendship, from Stonewall Book Award–winning author Lesléa Newman

When it comes to playing dress-up, best friends Annabelle and Benjamin both want to be the bride, the ballerina, and the princess. Can they both be the fairest in the land?

In this spirited and inclusive story about expressing our true selves with pride, two friends ultimately realize that they can both be whoever they want—and that having two princesses means twice the fun.

***STARRED REVIEW***
"A pink and purple sparkling celebration of self-expression."

* Kirkus *
A heartwarming tale... Filled with vibrant illustrations and cute animal friends that capture the joy and nostalgia of children playing pretend, Newman’s story reminds readers that they are who their imaginations say they are. The fresh bubblegum palette...will spark a fresh wave of inspiration for young friends to be their truest selves. * Book Li
