A Story About the Magic of Speaking Up
The nameless princess might get a name today!
Her 14th try is looking good . . . Even though she can’t get a word in edgewise.
Then the Blackfly Queen strides into the feasting hall . . . Just as the oh-so-tasty parsnip fries run out.
Arrows fly! Tempers flare! Another christening goes up in smoke!
Her fairy godmother’s perfect leadership gift has one small side effect: The princess has 15 days to make a name for herself . . .
Or she’ll be invisible for life! What’s a princess to do?
Can she finally use the tool that’s never worked. . .her quiet voice?
