The princess and the frog is a fairy tale of the princess kissing a frog to turn him into a prince, who doesn’t have time for princes or frogs or kisses as she works non-stop so she can afford to open her own restaurant. Unfortunately, she ends up kissing Prince Naveen because he’s a talking frog prince mistaking her for a princess, asks her to make him human again. This would be fine except that if you’re not a princess and you kiss a cursed frog-prince, you’ll turn into a frog too. It’s that magical legalese. The two are forced to travel across the bayou together to find voodoo priestess Mama Odie in the hopes that she can turn them human again.
This story is very close to my heart for many reasons; it takes place in New Orleans and I’m from Louisiana. She’s the first African American Princess and also she’s very determined and focused like me. This was a great book and a fantastic movie. I loved the cultural aspects in this book and the biracial relationship between the princess and the prince. The story is a fairy tale but points out the fact that even with a happy ending, you can still struggle. This book is one of my favorites and I can’t wait until my daughter is born and I can read it to her.
This book would be great to read to a group of underprivileged girls; giving them hope and motivation. The sky is the limit and kids need to understand that the only things that can stop them are themselves. This book is great for multicultural teaching.
