They say that crowns aren’t made of rhinestones. Instead, they are made of discipline, determination, and a large dose of courage. In this book, 17 young pageant princesses hand-selected by affirmation slanger and 2019 North Carolina National American Miss Jr Preteen, Trinity Bush share exactly what it’s like to become a pageant queen. These young beauties prove that if all you want is a really pretty crown you can buy one, but if you want to become an inspiring leader you have to enter a pageant and earn one. Together these beautiful and dynamic leaders share their stories of disappointment and victory and all of the beautiful characteristics they develop on their journey to becoming young pageant queens.

Not only will this beautifully written collection of stories give you insights into what pageantry is and what it is not, but they will also inspire and motivate you to dream big and let nothing stop you from achieving your goals. These stories prove that pageantry is not only about a tangible crown, but it is also about an intangible C.R.O.W.N. Learning how to earn the intangible crown is not only a skill for pageant beauties but a skill for everyone striving to win an ultimate prize. This book is a must-have for readers of all ages.
