Brave Girls Virtual Storytime: More Than a Princess

Calling all Brave Girls! Join NWHM and author Delanda Coleman for a special Halloween themed reading of her book, More Than a Princess, with Q&A to follow.

Princess Kiana was lying in bed. ‘Life in the castle is boring!’ she said. ‘I’ve got many things, but I need something more. There’s so much out there I have yet to explore.” Follow Kiana’s magical journey as she’ll explore all the things a girl can achieve. Guided by her fairy godmother, Kiana will discover that life is more than pretty things and fancy castles.

Delanda and Terrence Coleman are the authors of this charming tale, aiming to show girls around the world all they can achieve in the areas of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM). Through the lens of an African American princess, they offer the reader a rhyming kids’ book that showcases careers for girls in a modern way.

The National Women’s History Museum strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. For questions, or to request accommodations such as an ASL interpreter or captioning, please email history@womenshistory.org at least 7 days in advance of the program.
