Finally, the classic fairy tale’s had an update the world’s been waiting for.
Children’s author Greg McGoon has just published The Royal Heart; the first fairy tale with a transgender princess.
Illustrated by artist J. Orr, the book tells the story of Lyric, the child of the king and queen. Lyric is born male, but doesn’t feel like a boy, and worries that he’ll never be able to rule the lands as the king his parents hope he’ll be.
Lyric runs away and meets the spirit of his late grandmother, who transforms Lyric into the princess he is inside.
