The excitement I’ve been having to keep under control over the past weeks and months has been unreal! I can finally shout it out loud. IT’S HERE!! My debut children’s book with the super talented illustrator @jadefrolics Thank you to everyone involved in making a dream into a reality. 📚📕♥️
A warm and witty celebration of the lives of amazing Black women. What will Maya be when she grows up? A rocket scientist like Annie Easley? An Olympic athlete like Alice Coachman? A brain surgeon like Alexa Canady? In this heart-warming and funny story, Maya discovers the achievements of some incredible Black women . . . but it's a brave Nigerian princess who really captures her imagination! This uplifting and empowering picture book is the perfect gift for any young reader.

I’ve had the privilege and pleasure of being super busy since ’I’m Going to be a Princess’ came out last year. Countless schools in different parts of the country; bookshops, festivals, and a variety of events. I’ve taken part in courses @jerichoprize and the book has been nominated for different awards, coming 2nd in the @thediversebookawards. Mindblowingly, named by the @booktrust as one of the 100 best reads of 24/25. One of the greatest things has been the incredible people I’ve connected with on the way and the continued support of family and friends. 🙌🏾I’m still really busy but from the comfort of my home. The break from the road is really needed and it’s going to be lovely to sit with Mr Taylor @mikeydre8d on the sofa, rather than in the car, for a little while. I’m keeping everything crossed for possible future projects but in reality I’m truly enjoying being right where I’m at! If you’ve been a part of it… Thank you from the bottom of my heart 👑 @jadefrolics @nosycrow @nosycrowus @miss_mclarke @kimane_ed @gonultoysworld @consciousdreamspublishing

This probably should have been my first post but I’m pretty new to the world of bookstagram. So, my name is Stephanie Taylor, I’m happily married to Michael with two grown up, amazing children. Some of you may already be following my daughter’s page @thesianpages . My son is studying hard at university. Apart from being a wife and mother I love all things creative, my first love has always been dance and I’m still channeling my inner @mistyonpointe I’ve been in education for the past 21 years but the pandemic forced me into shielding and teaching in the unnatural environment of zoom! What it did allow me to do is finally put pen to paper and really focus on my writing. That’s when things really took an incredible turn and thanks to the guidance of the @thecatchpoles my first children’s book has been born. No fixed release date yet, I’m learning how slowly the publishing wheels turn, but I’m so excited to start this new adventure. As soon as I’m allowed to say more I will, in the meantime it will be great to learn from you all about the highs and lows of being an author and the wonderful world of publishing.

Today I did my last BHM event for @citywestminster organised by @readwritewoman It was an opportunity to show the teaching opportunities of ‘I’m Going to be a Princess ‘. Not just using the activities sheets, which are so much fun and thought provoking, but by taking the time to actively listen and engage with the dreams and ambitions of our most vulnerable young people. Thank you for the opportunity @readwritewoman your continued support doesn’t go unnoticed. 👑
Let’s teach all our children that black history is everyday history. 🖤

Representation matters for all children. I’m Going to be a Princess. Inspirational Women. See it, be it! 👑

Black History Celebrations in Catford yesterday. What a wonderful atmosphere. I got to meet some incredible creatives and share ‘I’m Going to be a Princess’ with some wonderful children, parents, grandparents, even some ex students! Everyone involved embraced the day and showed what can really happen when community moves as one. Thank you to everyone at Lewisham Council involved in making the event such a great success. The day was cold but the vibe… 🔥
Thank you Loredana, @mikeydre8d @ohheysian @miles_kvt @flawlessfreckles_ @kiara_martin_msc for all the love and support ♥️

About the author ✨️
Stephanie Taylor - Award winning author of I’m Going to be a Princess.
I’m a mum of two adult children living in Southeast London with my hubby Michael and our two fur babies – Neko and Pablo. I love reading and writing children’s books and if I visits a book shop you will definitely find me in the picture book section. Probably embarrassing myself laughing out loud.
I’ve had the privilege of working in a primary school for more than 20 years. It always saddens me though, that there weren’t many books that represent myself, my children, or the culturally diverse children I work with. If my passion for books, in some small way, encourages a child to pick up a book and read – then I’ve done my job! The challenge of a child telling me they don’t like books or reading is one I can’t resist – I’m then determined to find a book they cannot put down.😊
Check out Stephanie's website to purchase the book.
Happy reading 📚
