Teach your little princess to embrace HER TRUE WORTH with help from Selena Holston Gabriel's new Christian children's book, Heaven's Royalty, That's Me!™. Heaven's Royalty, That's Me!™ is a powerful and hope-filled message for girls of all ages!
Author Selena Holston Gabriel uses rhyming text and culturally diverse illustrations by Stacy Bearden to affirm the beauty, authenticity, and inherent worth of all little girls and to embolden each one to use her gifts and strengths to make a compassionate difference in the world. As daughters of King Jesus, they are each a princess - and that's not make-believe. They are heirs of God's Kingdom, Heaven's Royalty.
Selena created Heaven’s RoyalTEA™ to share the message and mission of her book in partnership with churches, schools, and Christian groups. Teas encourage girls (and those who love them) to lead with their God-given strengths and empower them to be all that He has created them to be. These events can be scaled up (a ticketed event) or down (a pop-up tea party) and include a dramatic monologue of the children’s book, book sales, and a book signing-session with the author.
(Recommended for Girls, Ages 3-10)

"Selena has written a marvelous, easy to read and understand book for young girls, to fully embrace their God given abilities and reveal their full equality in God’s eyes. The diverse characters revealed in the book showcases the wonderful beauty of our multi-cultural world, and establishes this book as a must read for children’s programs, schools and churches."

Kirkus Review
This picture book assures little girls that they don’t need to pretend to be royalty—they are all princesses “in God’s eyes.”
According to this volume’s dedication, Gabriel has set out to instill in young female readers the confidence that this audience so often lacks, urging them to “dream big. Very big. Hold tightly to the dreams that God has for you....You are very loved.” Early on in the story, readers are told: “It’s so fun to play dress-up, / But I hope you know, / You’re already a princess.” The author proceeds to remind them that they are daughters “of Christ the King.” The straightforward tale urges readers to use their God-given skills and strengths to serve their neighbors. The mostly rhyming encouragement is punctuated by colorful digital illustrations by Bearden of girls having tea parties, dressing in gowns, playing, and praying. The characters depicted are of various races and ethnicities. The earnest book is clearly aimed at a young Christian audience. For Christian girls who value the Bible’s teachings, this upbeat story provides them with the faith-based confidence to be the best they can be.
A simple Christian tale that reminds young girls of their inherent value and God’s love.
