  About the Author

  Why doesn’t anyone ever call

  me by my REAL name?

  It’s always Good morning, Buttercup,

  Time for breakfast, Giggly Goose,

  Don’t forget to brush your teeth, Cupcake,

  Put your sweater on, Little Lamb, or

  How’s my Sweet Gumdrop today?

  But I am not a buttercup

  or a giggly goose.

  I am not a cupcake.

  Please don’t call me Little Lamb,

  and never ever Sweet Gumdrop.

  Please call me by my real name.

  You’ll know me by my shiny crown,

  my fancy dress, my sparkly shoes,

  my velvet cape,

  my glittery jewels,

  and, of course,

  my royal wand.

  I have perfect manners.

  I dance with princes

  and make sure that everyone in my kingdom is happy.

  Everything is just the way I like it.

  Until …

  “I am …

  Finally.
