A former sketch comedy performer in New York City, Hillary currently lives with her family in Northern California.

If Udayana Lugo weren’t a children’s book illustrator, she would probably be a baker (although waking up before dawn might be a deal-breaker!). She lives in British Columbia, Canada, with her family.

Through facts and profiles of real-life princesses intertwined throughout, three best friends learn what being a princess truly means, empowering them to work toward making a difference in their own communities.
