“I love you

Forever After…”

Our Mission

At Once Upon a Princess, our mission is to create a heartwarming board book series that brings magic, meaning, and connection to storytime.

Designed for little ones and their guardians, each book features rhyming verse, enchanting illustrations, and a timeless message that nurtures both the bond between adult and child and a growing sense of self within the child.

Through every page, we hope to inspire wonder, spark imagination, and plant seeds of confidence and love that will grow with your child, one royal adventure at a time.

What got us started…

I’ve always wanted to write and publish a story. I just didn’t have the idea or inspiration on what to write. That wasn’t until I was pregnant with our third child/first little girl…

Current progress on the series

It’s no question that writing and publishing children’s books takes time. When I first started this conquest, I was hoping to have this done by the end of the year, if not within the first six months since I started. Boy, was I wrong.
