About the Book

A Crooked Crown Day by Brandie Hollingsworth (Mascot Books, July 6, 2021) is a touching children’s book that beautifully illustrates resilience, self-worth, and the power of family support. With warm storytelling and expressive illustrations, it captures the emotions of a young African-American girl as she faces the challenges of a difficult day.

From being teased at school to forgetting her homework and enduring laughter from classmates, the weight of the day threatens to topple her “invisible crown”—a powerful symbol of her inner strength and confidence. Just when she feels ready to crumble, her loving grandmother steps in with gentle hands and wise words, reminding her of who she is and helping to restore her crown.

This inspiring picture book offers children a relatable message: that even when the world feels unkind, they carry an inner crown that can always be set straight again. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will find A Crooked Crown Day a valuable resource for sparking conversations about self-esteem, resilience, and the importance of supportive family bonds.
