Making her much-anticipated return with her first children's series, Karen Scalf Linamen presents a charming story of a princess trying to discover who God wants her to be. Princess Madison isn't your typical princess. She has dirt under her nails, freckles on her nose, and marbles in her pocket. But none of this bothered Princess Madison until she heard what princesses are supposed to be: pretty little girls who wear pink and drink tea. What is she going to do now? Join Princess Madison as she competes in the Royal Darling Pageant and discovers that you don't need to dress or act a certain way in order to be valuable in God's eyes.
This was one of my favorite books growing up. I loved it because it had my name in it so it made me feel like the book was about me. My parents would read it to me almost every night and on special occasions. This book made me want to learn to read so I could read it as many times as I want. This was one of the books that shaped me as a reader.
