Series of fairytales, where the leading roles are filled by princesses with a disability, cancer, or illness.
Princessability is a series of stories developed with the intention to educate people in hopes of stopping discrimination against children with a disability, cancer or illness.
Fairytale stories, dolls, princesses and superheroes have always caught our attention, but for us there was something missing. we are brunette, and as brunettes we noticed the lack of dark skin, or dark haired princesses, heroes, etc.; So we decided to create them when we grew up. Other creators addressed the issues before we had gotten a chance, but this left us thinking, what other girls needed role models that were currently not being addressed.
While we were investigating other traits these role models were lacking, we came across the big umbrella of discrimination; so we decided to create a series of 14 fairytales, where the leading roles are filled by princesses with a different disability, cancer, or illness in hopes to create an easier way for children to understand and sensitize.
Even though these are fantasy books and magic is used, it is not solely magic these princesses depend on, but their “PRINCESSABILITY”. The way goals and obstacles are achieved are fashioned after the methods these girls must use in everyday life.
That is why our slogan is:
“The disability is not the absence of an ability, but the creativity in their other abilities”.
We aim to achieve 2 main goals:
1.To educate and sensitize in a different more creative manner, that is simpler for children to understand.
2.Identify and inspire the girls in the real world, as well as the community around them. Also giving them a princess to identify with.
Once the ebooks are getting finished, we will be sending to some associations at no cost. (If you have an association that migth be interested, please let us know)
(The enhanced iBooks are for apple devices, and by enhanced we mean with audio =) )
Please help support not only Princessability, but the audiences it is trying to reach; the children and the community around them that could benefit from the education and new outlook on the situation.
If you cannot supply monetary support, don’t worry and please spread the word and help us give these children a voice, in hopes of finding a less discriminating world we can live in. Together we can educate each other, to help provide a better life for every single kid.
