Author Pam Calvert has been writing books and stories for children for over ten years. She likes to write fairytales, math adventures, middle grade novels, and multicultural stories—all with a humorous twist. Her most beloved book is entitled Princess Peepers and was inspired by her own zany mishaps when she wouldn’t wear her glasses growing up. Pam Calvert lives in Montgomery, Texas.
“A sure hit with fans of Fancy Nancy and Pinkalicious.” —Children’s
Literature
“…The story feels fresh throughout—no easy feat for a princess
book.” —Horn Book Guide
“Calvert’s tale of a bespectacled princess’s rocky road to
self-acceptance is rollicking good fun…[The] mishaps are
appropriately silly and lighthearted, [but] they do not conceal the
compelling message that being true to one’s self paves the road to
happiness. Mourning’s mixed-media illustrations of graphite and
digital/collage present an intriguing blend of texture and color.
Readers are bound to relish the interplay between what the text
describes and the reality of the illustrations as Princess Peepers
stumbles about sans specs. The ironic denouement is bound to please
princess fans and their practical parents alike.” —Kirkus Reviews
