A young Black girl overcomes self-doubt and embraces her unique superhero
princess identity in this energetic and empowering book from the author of I Will Swim Next Time.


Halima can't decide who to dress up as for her friend's birthday party. Should she be a princess like Elsa, or a sort-of superhero like Pippi Longstocking? "You can't be either," her friends tell her, "because you don't look like them."


Mama assures Halima can be whoever she wants to be, and together they discover more strong, brave women to look up to. Can Halima find the confidence to become her own unique superhero princess?


Heartfelt and uplifting, Halima's story encourages pride and self-expression in young readers, and introduces them to inspiring women of colour from around the world. African-diaspora mother Emily Joof is the author of I Will Swim Next Time. Åsa Gilland's vibrant and lively illustrations are full of fun.

Industry Reviews
Praise for Emily Joof?s I Will Swim Next Time: 'This adorable, sweet book is all about reassuring little ones that they can take their time with things they feel nervous about.' -- BookTrust 'Offers a model for parents looking to quell children?s fears, support their dreams, and allow them room to grow. Given that many swimming pools have historically excluded African American communities and that Black children face an elevated risk of drowning, a narrative that spotlights a Black family reveling in the water is especially welcome. Gentle, inspiring, and important.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'Joof's poetic verse glides effortlessly through the story.' -- The Scotsman 'A wonderfully gentle approach to children trying new things. This is a great book to share with any child that might be about to embark on the unknown.' -- Scottish Book Trust 'This is an affirming story about listening to yourself and taking things at your own pace.' -- Juno Praise for Asa Gilland: ?The book's bright and busy illustrations pulse with life.? -- Kirkus Reviews on Meena's Mindful Moment 'Asa Gilland?s stunning illustrations take us through the changing seasons and remind us that, in life, sometimes everything changes.' -- Teach Early Years on Everything Changes
