Once upon a time a baby was born to a King and a Queen. Everyone was happy to have a Prince and heir to the throne at long last.

But they were wrong, the baby wasn't a Prince, she was a Princess.

Cursed to have nobody believe her, the Princess grows up trying and failing to persuade everyone around her that she is a girl and not a boy. Until, one day, Edgar, the stuffed elephant toy that she was given as a baby suddenly starts to speak to her.

The Princess and the Elephant is a sweet, fun and funny fairytale for children of all genders about about acceptance, belief and the importance of support and allyship.
