Every Disney Princess has faced obstacles when trying to achieve her dreams, but true princesses have the heart to make it through!

Ariel was brave in the face of a world that wasn't her own. Cinderella knew being kind was important no matter the cost. Aurora knew that what's on the inside is what counts. Moana searched for answers when she didn't know what to do. And Rapunzel discovered that dreaming only stops when you do!

In this book, follow along with a princess on every spread as they work past fear and doubt to make their dreams come true. With rhyming text, shiny touch-and-feel foil, and meaningful call-outs to movie moments-this book tells the story of these princesses in a way that both individualizes and unites them in one resounding idea: being a princess is just about doing your best!
