New Children's Book Here Comes the Tutu Queen Empowers Kids to Shine Unapologetically

GAINESVILLE, Va. - Feb. 23, 2026 - PRLog -- Author and literacy advocate Carylee Carrington is proud to announce the release of her latest children's book, Here Comes the Tutu Queen, a vibrant and empowering picture book for children ages 4–8. Available now at www.readwithcarylee.org/tutu-queen, the book invites young readers on a magical journey of self-discovery, confidence, and the courage to be unapologetically themselves.

Meet Rylan — a little girl who loves to sing but isn't sure she feels like herself when it's time to step into the spotlight. Nothing she wears feels right... until she discovers something magical. As Rylan finds her voice, her tutu begins to grow — shimmering, flowing, and reflecting the confidence she's building from within. Here Comes the Tutu Queen reminds children everywhere that true confidence doesn't come from fitting in — it comes from being brave enough to be yourself.

"Here Comes the Tutu Queen was written to remind children — especially those who feel different — that confidence doesn't come from fitting in. It comes from being brave enough to be yourself. This story is for every child who needs to hear: 'You already have the power inside you.'"— Carylee Carrington, Author
Beyond its enchanting story, Here Comes the Tutu Queen is a complete confidence-building experience. Each copy includes a special activity page to spark imagination, a confidence-themed song inspired by Rylan's journey, and rich moments for parents and children to explore together. The book builds emotional resilience, encourages self-expression and individuality, and celebrates creativity, courage, and the power of family support.

For families seeking an extra-special gift, the Limited Edition Royal Confidence Bundle ($65) includes a signed hardcover, a signature tutu inspired by the story, an 11x17 Daily Affirmation Poster, and a sparkling tiara — a complete experience for the Tutu Queen in your life.
