Description Princess Pretend-Not-to-Know Mom, Dad, why do you keep fighting? "Princess Pretend-Not-to-Know" is a picture book by Choi Sook-hee, author of "You Are a Miracle" and "It's Okay," that speaks for the hidden pain children feel amid their parents' conflicts and arguments. The little princess feels anxious and afraid whenever Mom and Dad fight, but she pretends not to notice, eating her meals and playing as usual. Yet she carries her wounded heart into a tall tower she builds for herself. A little bird, a baby mouse, a small dragon, and a young prince all come to visit her — each of them also hurt by their own parents' fights. As they share their pain with one another and finally burst into tears, it is their parents who come rushing to comfort them first. This book beautifully portrays how deeply children can be hurt and unsettled by their parents' conflicts, offering warm comfort to those little hearts while gently reminding every parent in the world to reflect on their actions. The author's signature illustrations, featuring round, soft lines and vibrant colors, add extra warmth, humor, and meaning to the story. This book challenges the mistaken belief that children are too young to understand what's happening around them. At the same time, it reassures children that even when Mom and Dad disagree and argue sometimes, they never stop loving them. Readers will come to realize that it is parents who hold the power to make their children happy — or unhappy. The Paper Bag Princess What becomes of the princess who rescues the prince? This story offers a modern, feminist retelling inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Swineherd." Unlike any princess you've seen in picture books before, this princess doesn't wait to be chosen by a prince — she chooses her own path in life. The surprising twist at the end gives children a fresh new way to think about female identity and self-worth. In this story, it is the prince — not the princess — who is captured by a wicked dragon. Using her wit, the princess outsmarts the dragon and rescues him. But instead of thanking the princess for saving him, the ungrateful prince criticizes her. In response, the princess declares that she will not marry him after all…
