A Noble Message Wrapped in a Forgettable Story

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow’s debut picture book, Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose, aims to teach kids about kindness and purpose through a royal Dalmatian on an African safari.

The idea is sweet—Paris loses her crown and learns that true royalty comes from serving others—but the execution falls flat. I read it with my grandchildren (ages 4–11), and they all agreed: the story felt too basic and not very original. The illustrations didn’t impress them either; they were fine but nothing special.

Overall, it’s a nice concept with a good Christian message, but the storytelling and art don’t quite rise to the level of the lesson. It might work as a baby shower or Sunday school gift, but it’s not one kids will reach for twice.
