Bookroo's summary

A curious young girl questions her mother about the true nature of princesses. Do they climb trees, ride tricycles, or do chores? Her mother's comforting answers reveal that true princesses are defined by their inner qualities, not their activities. Join this delightful journey of discovery and learn what it truly means to be a princess.

From the publisher

Every inquisitive little girl wonders what it is really like to be a genuine princess. At the heart of Do Princesses Wear Hiking Boots? lives an energetic, spirited, and contemporary child who has lots of important questions for her mom. Do princesses ride tricycles, climb trees, do chores, or have to eat the crusts of their bread? The mother’s voice is timelessly reassuring as she answers her daughter’s questions and advises her that being like a princess has to do with what we are on the inside.
