The Princess Panda Tea Party: A Cerebral Palsy Princess Tale is a sweet story of a young girl with Cerebral Palsy [1], who fulfills her dream of winning a scholarship despite her physical limitations.

I enjoyed the rich language that is used throughout the book. Important vocabulary such as “accessible”, “scholarship”, “extraordinary”, “therapeutic” are used fluently throughout the story. Discussing and defining these complex words can help build expand your child’s vocabulary. I also liked the practice of affirmations that Panda Bear Princess taught Michelle to boost her confidence.

The Princess Panda Tea Party is a wonderful book for a child with a disability, but also excellent to help build awareness within a classroom, community, etc.
