About the author
Karma Wilson
106 books523 followersKarma Wilson grew up an only child of a single mother in the wilds of North Idaho. Way back then (just past the stone age and somewhat before the era of computers) there was no cable TV and if there had been Karma could not have recieved it. TV reception was limited to 3 channels, of which one came in with some clarity. Karma did the only sensible thing a lonely little girl could do…she read or played outdoors.
Playing outdoors was fun, but reading was Karma’s “first love” and, by the age 11, she was devouring about a novel a day. She was even known to try to read while riding her bike down dirt roads, which she does not recommend as it is hazardous to the general well being of the bike, the rider, and more importantly the book. Her reading preferences were fantasy (C.S. Lewis, Terry Brooks, etc…) and historical fiction (L.M. Montgomery, Laura Ingalls Wilder, etc…). Those tastes have not changed much.
Karma never considered writing as a profession because her mother was a professional writer which made it seem like mundane work. At the age of 27 she realized that she still loved well-written children’s books of all kinds, from picture books to young adult novels. By that time Karma was a wife and the mother of three young children. Trips to the library with her kids were a combination of emotions…a good book meant fun for all! But so many of the books weren’t what her children wanted to listen to.
Then a tax refund changed everything. With the money the family decided to invest in a computer. Karma was forced to learn to type. Combining her desire to make the expensive computer pay for itself, her new-found typing skill, and her love of children’s literature, Karma started writing for children. She wanted to put a few more good books on the library shelves and pay off that computer! Countless rejections and three years later Karma was finally accepted by book agent Steven Malk (who had already rejected her once, which she never lets him forget). Her first book, Bear Snores On, was released in 2002. The computer was paid for!
Since then Karma has had more than 30 books accepted for publication. Many of those are on the shelves of libraries and bookstores around the world. Her books have received numerous state and national awards, been translated into dozens of languages, and a few have made an appearance on the New York Times bestseller list. Karma sincerely hopes that her books bring joy to children and families everywhere.
Karma writes humorous, rhythmic picture books for the very young, and humorous and wistful poetry for the primary grades.
These days Karma lives with her handsome husband Scott, and her three not-so-young-anymore children, two dogs, two chickens and one cat on some modest but lovely acreage in NW Montana. Her hobbies include reading (of course), photography, baking, yoga, and a passion for Mixed Martial Arts.

I think this is a good book to read when children are having bad days. Sometimes children feel as though they are not good enough, especially 4 year olds since it's a constant battle as to who is friends with who. This book talks about being yourself and loving yourself for who you are and others will too.

I loved the magical parts of this book, and so did my four year old daughter. We were both taken into this princess' room and ethereal world filled with magic and wonder. Any little girl would love this story! I would use this in a fairy tale/royalty theme in the class.

This book should be read to every little girl! The princess if lovely, faithful, caring, and everything a pincess should be. This book will inspire self confidence in young children. By the end of the book you will feel like a princess too!

My daughter absolutely LOVES this book. I first checked it out at the library, and then had to go purchase a copy for our own. This book is read everyday...if not several times throughout.

Caitlyne & I love this book! Really fun for little girls!

I love this sweet book! Elizabeth likes looking at all the princess' toys. She especially likes the baby with the green hair.

The sweet story of a princess who is kind, loving, and well-manered. Who could this princess be? It's Princess Me!

Sweet book for my sweet girl. Positive book.

What a lovely book.

A young lady and her kingdom celebrate her princessness all day but is she really a princess or not. Colorful and fanciful and easy enough for a toddler.

I love this book; the drawings, the story and the rhyme is cute! What little girl doesn't want to be a princess?

The illustrations just didn't do it for me.

For all princess wannabees, and that would be almost every little girl at some time in her life. The rhyme is about a little princess who is sweet and cheerful and has wonderful parents. But this princess is not perfect - she's normal. "Sometimes she's cross or mad or blue." The illustrations are as enchanting as a princess. This little girl's room is amazing. Full of toys and stuffed animals, it's something most little girls would love to have. I also liked the way the illustrator portrayed the princess. She's ordinary with stick-straight short brown hair, not the usual kind of princess you find in fairy tales, but the kind of princess any girl could be in her imagination.

My daughter (5) and I both loved this book! It was adorable, I love stories written in rhyme....so fun!
Ok, so its about a little girl, Princess Me and it kind of goes on about how wonderful she is but not always. Like everybody, even Princess Me has bad days where she is mad or sad. She is normal like you and me. Its a great way to say its ok to be yourself and love who you are, wonderful story for little girls. Very fun!!
The pictures are great, very magical and royal! We loved them almost as much as the story!!

Princess Me incorporates so many elements that I love. I love how it encourages imagination and playfulness, with supportive parents. The story flows gracefully off the page and off the readers tongue because of the art and rhyme. Curiosity builds as the story continues to ask, "and just who could this princess be, the lovely, faithful Princess Me?" And at the end, the story answers that it is "Princess you!" It inspires children to chase their dreams and be whatever they want to be.

This book shows that being caring, loving, and faithful are not only characteristics of a good person but also of s princess. I like how at the end instead of calling her princess me they call her princess you. It's a great way to tell girls that they are wonderful and they can be princesses. I really like how the illustrations take you into her "kingdom" and make you feel like she is a real princess.

Is there anyone out there who DOESN'T know a gaggle of little girls who are princess mad?
Not only does this one have sparkles on the color, it has a heroine who becomes a princess by using her IMAGINATION, not a princess kit from Disney!!
I bought one copy for my library, read it and have now ordered two more. This one is going to FLY off the shelf.

This will please all the little princesses out there. Princess Me is identifiably a child, but most definitely a princess. The love of the King and Queen for their little princess is easy to see The text is lyrical and can actually be sung to "Hush, Little Baby." I look forward to sharing it with young royal wannabes.

I do love spunky princess books so as soon as I saw this one I picked it up. I used this in story time yesterday and it didn't go over as well as I had hoped. But it did get checked out by one of the kids so this may just be a book better suited for being read one or two kids at a time.
September 23, 2014
Definitely a good book for little girls. Many girls imagine being a princess and has castle and princess type vocabulary within it! I enjoyed how it also showed that the princess was just an ordinary little girl and any little girl can be a princess.

A fun story for kids who like princesses. Good for toddler/preschool storytime. I love Karma Wilson. This story was good but not one of my favorites hence the 4 instead of 5.

cute book for girls. not a good readaloud due to mixed audiences. big pretty pictures of a girl's day as a princess.
July 9, 2008
Perfect for all the little princesses out there. This colorful story will appeal to fans of Fancy Nancy and Eloise.

gorgeous book

the only good thing about this book was the sparkly cover.

Good for a laptime but not really storytime. The rhyme is lovely, and though it might be on the longish side for little ones I think the pictures and rhyme save it.

Very cute read!
