Two little girls pepper their father with questions about whether or not they can be a profession and still be a princess. Motivated by her granddaughter's fascination with all things 'princess,' Carole P. Roman penned this adorable poem celebrating all the wonderful possibilities waiting ahead for them. "This comforting response fosters his daughter's childish spirit and creativity while gently reminding her that she will always find support at home. Carrying the positive themes of feminism and open-minded parenting, this book will enchant children and adults alike." - Rebecca Proulx, Booktrib "The whimsical, pastel art work adds to the light, girlish mom-daughter bonding feels. This would make a great bedtime story read-aloud." - Rainy Days Mom Days "CAN A PRINCESS BE A FIREFIGHTER? is a simple story that inspires both children and parents alike to expand the scope of their dreams." - IndieReader "I truly enjoyed this story, not only in the way it is written, but also in how the illustrations show what each occupation entails. Carole P. Roman has listed so many possibilities of what a young child could become, regardless of their gender, with each choice creating much thrill and excitement." Reviewed by Rosie Malezer for Readers' Favorite 5 Stars "This book encourages imagination and goals as well to show the young child that there are no limits. All the while, the author shows that girls do not have to give up their special identities when pursing their dreams and that they can always keep their fairy wings. This book makes a perfect story for toddler and preschool girls- and also school aged girls as well. I think it would also make a cute nostalgic gift for a high school or even college graduation gift for a young woman as well." - Lemon Bee Blogspot "I truly enjoyed this story, not only in the way it was written, but also in how the illustrations show what each occupation entails...I recommend Can a Princess Be a Firefighter to children aged 4 to 12, as it lists the seemingly endless list of career possibilities open to them." - Rosie Malezer Five Stars Readers' Favorite "Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? is an empowering picture book by award-winning author Carole P. Roman that encourages children to follow their dreams. Just like the quote from Walt Disney that Roman uses to dedicate the book to her granddaughter ("If you van dream it, you can do it."), it puts forth the idea that kids can grow up to be anything they want to be - in fact, they can even be more than one thing... The endearing illustrations take over double-page spreads and quite cleverly only ever show an adult's legs, bringing a child-centric focus to the story. Can a Princess Be a Firefighter? is an important must-read for both girls and boys. It could also be given as a fun college graduation gift. Highly recommended!" - Bianca Schulze, The Children's Book Review "A parent offers a world of ideas for daughters when they grow up in this illustrated ode to girls. ...The girls present a firefighter's hat, a judge's gown, and their sparkly tiaras in tandem. Their parent assures them they can be anything they'd like, and begins a litany of careers, some traditionally feminine and others not, all accompanied by pictures of the girls in costumes for each job. ... A sweet celebration of girlhood that embraces both the traditional and the progressive." - Kirkus Reviews " I loved the book just because it inspires girls that they can be anything they want to be and still be girly. This is exactly the kind of book that I want my daughter reading. I think this book would be an excellent one to read at school when it is career day."

One thing I thought was interesting is that the book never shows a picture of the grown up's face, so it's unclear whether the parent is a mother or father, but it doesn't affect the story at all. What is important is that the book makes it clear that the parent genuinely loves and cares for the child." - Loving Mommahood Blog " The text is interesting enough for adults to read again and again but easier enough for early readers. I definitely recommend this book for preschoolers through the first through grades of school. Older kids can also enjoy the message o
