Publisher's Summary:
Princess Lil is a sad pony. Her little girl grew up and went away. Now Lil is in a scary place with lots of mean ponies. A fun furry farm-cat called Taffy and a nice roan horse named Pearly try to help. It even looks like Princess Lil might have a chance to cheer up special-needs children, too, but she is already too hurt and too sick. Princess Lil is about the differences between loyal friends and those who bully others. It shows the power of caring about ourselves and the people who look out for us. Is it too late for a sad pony in a scary place? The answer might just depend on how much we all love Princess Lil.

and she loved it. It deals with bullying
I ordered this for my cousin's daughter, and she loved it. It deals with bullying, but not in such a cliche way. A pony new to the farm is being mistreated by some of the other animals. The story doesn't flinch from the cruelty or even some physical meanness. I was concerned the little girl I bought it for would have a hard time with that, but she informed me that it's the most important part, "not acting like it's not that bad." Wow, how insightful. That tells me the book succeeded in making her think. So, sure, it's a good heartfelt story, but being able to make young people think about their choices in bullying and the moral implications is a successful book. I highly recommend this. I think boys will like it up to Middle School age, and girls well into their teens. It's a good story for families to read together.
This is one for my bookshelf!
Even though I'm a grandma now, I still have a full bookcase of children's books. I will be adding "Princess Lil" to the stack! I loved the approach that Cooper took by telling the story through the eyes of a horse. Children love horses, and will naturally sympathize with Lil in her plight. The story will also resonate with children who might have used unkind words with others as they see the hurt that can come from their words. I'm looking forward to Cooper's next book!
A must read for elementary aged children
This book will be on our list of gifts to every elementary aged child we know. The lessons and ideas expressed are ones that can help in their lives right now. The ending is great!
Encouraging and Uplifting!
Bullying, so whatâs new? We often just accept the norm. But bullying is an ever present worry of children, adults and animals. With horses we often call it the âpecking orderâ every horse knows its place in line in a herd. In Nelle Cooperâs book Princess Lil, the need for friendship and acceptance becomes vital to her health.
Cooper writes eloquently about this need to feel accepted in all of us. As the horseâs previous owner, Becky, says to Princess Lil, âI have learned from you, friendship is important and love is a gift to be treasured.â
Princess Lil is a wonderful book for older children to read and adults to read to their children or grandchildren. This book is a great way to open the conversation about bullying and how your child can make another child feel accepted!
Princess Lil
Okay, so I don't usually review books written for children. I hadn't even read a children's book since my own kids were little ones. But this book, Princess Lil by Nelle Cooper, is definitely worth a review and some well-deserved publicity.
