Who are the Guardian Princesses? They are the heroines of a NEW BOOK SERIES. Our stories transform the cultural meaning of the princesses into inspiring leaders who take action to protect the people and the planet.

Why we need the GP

We shift away from a focus on external beauty and promote a healthy self-esteem based on the development of children's talents, knowledge about the world and taking action to help others.

Better Role Models

Our diverse princesses model compassion and intelligence, the power of knowledge and collective action. All children will benefit from our stories that promote diversity, cooperation and caring for the environment.
