4 year old, Madison has some thoughts for Princess Jasmine:

“ A princess doesn’t need a prince to rescue her, she can rescue herself”

"Jasmine needs to go see the world by herself...Jasmine can just go by herself,

And don't ever forget that.

We all need to teach little girls this. Enough with the princess stuff already.

The Paper Bag Princess is a children's book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Michael Martchenko. It was first published in 1980 by Annick Press. The story reverses the princess and dragon stereotype. As a result, it has won critical acclaim from feminists, including an endorsement from the National Organization for Women, which sells the book on its website.

Plot

Princess Elizabeth plans on marrying Prince Ronald, who she thinks is perfect. However, a dragon arrives who destroys her castle, kidnaps Ronald, and burns all her clothes, so she must look for something to wear, and her only option is a paper bag. Elizabeth follows the dragon and Ronald, and seeking to rescue her fiancé, challenges the dragon to burn forests with fire and to fly around the world. The dragon completes the tasks but after flying around the world a second time becomes tired and falls asleep. Elizabeth rescues Ronald, who is ungrateful and tells her to return when she looks more like a princess. Elizabeth calls Ronald out for his ungratefulness, rejects him as a worthless bum and goes dancing off into the sunset to live her own life.
