In her spare time she writes children's books and manages her website, www.eqkids.online where she shares ideas, knowledge and activities about children's emotional health. She is an advocate for gender equality, violence prevention, mental health prevention, and celebrating diversity. She believes that laughter, sunshine and fresh air are the best natural medicine. She watches crazy cat videos when she's having a rough day Katherine says that the book Princess You, Princess Me diversifies the representations of "princesshood", and removes limits it currently imposes against those who don't fit the traditional image of a princess (the delicate pretty girl who dances in a pink fluffy dress). The book doesn't necessarily reject the traditional princess, but it certainly offers invitations for diversities in princesshood. The idea came to me because I was determined to offer all options to my daughter when she was first born. I wanted her to know nothing is off limits because of gender. Despite the fact that we purchased clothes and products from all sections of stores, she gravitated towards sparkly pink princess dresses. It was then that I recognized that she would continue to be influenced by her social environment, through culture and society's definitions of gender in daycare, play spaces in books and on TV. Rather than imposing a certain agenda on my daughter, I decided to take a different approach. I thought "why don't I work to shift the culture around princesshood instead?" Being a princess who likes pink sparkly things doesn't need to be a limitation at all. The reason I thought princesshood was limiting is because of my own perception of princesses as limited in abilities and power, learned by many of us through our own generation of movies, songs, and play. Now, we are seeing a shift in gender in children's movies, such as Brave and Moana. I felt so deeply compelled to contribute to this movement. Princess You, and Princess Me is a playful children's book that celebrates diversities in princesshood. This is a princess book that represents all of us, as we are. We are capable, strong, collaborative, and can celebrate each other along the way. There is not a dress, tiara, dance, color, size or ability that makes a princess. We are all princesses, if we want to be
