The Beautiful Princess Without a Face

New Illustrated Children’s Book Follows Young Girl’s Journey to Discover the True Meaning of Beauty


DALLAS – Most young girls, and even boys, find themselves worried about their looks. Join Sarah, a young girl concerned with her appearance, as she daydreams in the world of Doll Land to find answers concerning beauty and the senses in The Beautiful Princess Without a Face (published by AuthorHouse), the new children’s book by April Robins, F. Jay Robins and Celeste Robins.

     Fascinated by the gorgeous beauty queen riding on a float during a New Year’s Day parade, Sarah begins to wonder if she too is beautiful. She drifts off into a dreamlike state across the Moonbeams to Doll Land, where she relives a folktale as a beautiful Native American china doll named Princess-Loves-the-Pond.

     Princess-Loves-the Pond is obsessed with being beautiful. She is so concerned with her own appearance, that she totally ignores the beauty surrounding her in Doll Land:

Princess-Loves-the-Pond always asked the pond, ‘Am I beautiful?’

The pond always replied, ‘Yes, my Princess.’

One day Princess-Loves-The-Pond bent over to see her reflection. She slipped on a stone and fell into the pond. A gush of water washed away her delicate face.

She no longer had eyes, ears, nose or a mouth.

     Without a face, the Princess is only left with the ability to feel. Page by page, she realizes more and more what she can no longer see, hear, taste or smell. Throughout the experience, the issue of being vain is delicately handled, with a more obvious study of the five senses. Set on the edge of a forest teaming with wildlife, the story includes and discusses many items related to Native American life.

     Will Princess-Loves-the-Pond find the true meaning of beauty? Will she ever again have a face? What life-altering lesson will Sarah learn in her Doll Land adventure? Find out in the educational and eye-opening conclusion to The Beautiful Princess Without a Face.
