A Warrior Princess Runner's Journal
Kiana, the Warrior Princess of Feliz, is a delightful and compassionate young lady who has been tasked with keeping her small village safe from negativity. She takes the task of chasing off Negative Nellies very seriously and her gift of having an open heart allows her to communicate with and recruit the help of the animals that live nearby. But when Kiana begins to fear that she might be losing her ability, Oscar, the Ostrich and other dedicated animal friends band together to help her see her problem from a different perspective. Using teamwork, friendship, and positivity, Kiana learns how to regain her joy, renew her purpose, and remember her motivation for doing what she does.
Warrior Princess is available in a beautiful hard cover version that is sure to be treasured by any young girl. It is also available in a more affordable soft cover version that includes the same beautiful illustrations and motivational message.
