THE PICKY PRINCESS AND THE DRAGON Brings a Deliciously Funny Tale

Brown Paper Fox is excited to announce the release of The Picky Princess and the Dragon, a new inclusive children's picture book written by South Asian author Ritu Kumar and illustrated by Kelsey Marshalsey, on November 4, 2025.

The Picky Princess and the Dragon is a whimsical tale about a South Asian Princess named Diya (Dee-yah), a quick-witted and picky girl who refuses to eat vegetables - until a sweet-toothed dragon raids the castle, devouring all her favourite treats. To avoid becoming the dragon's next meal, Diya cleverly convinces Dragon to try vegetables, only to discover they're not as "icky" as she thought. Together, the Princess and the Dragon embark on a delightful feast, sparking Diya's newfound love for exploring different flavours. Packed with humour and magic, this story encourages children to try new things and is a feast for young imaginations!

"This is such a cute story with adorable, vibrant illustrations! It seems like a fun way to help convince the tiniest of picky eaters to broaden their palate. "
-Victoria Rickmond - Librarian via NetGalley
