About Princess Tiara and the Crown of Virtues by Janet E. Fichter
How does a young princess prove herself worthy to wear a royal crown when she’s more passionate about exploring nature?
Tiara, the youngest princess in the royal family of the Kingdom of Fruitful, is the only child yet to wear a crown. The crowns of her six older siblings sparkle with a special gem they earned by a test of character. Now, as the last royal heir, Tiara must demonstrate a virtue she’d rather not even think about.
Can Tiara become a princess with purpose? What will her virtue be and what jewel will she earn for her crown? Perhaps a mysterious, old woman wearing a cloak that glows can guide her quest? But will she pay attention to these encounters?
Tiara and the Crown of Virtues is a must read for middle grade students, teachers, and parents. It will stimulate discussion about being a person of virtue. Who wouldn’t agree that we all need a stronger focus on virtue nowadays?

Author Bio:
Janet Fichter seeks to inspire readers to take a balcony view of life's events to gain a broader, more spiritual perspective. Having a long career in public education, she has now written a fairy tale adventure for middle grade readers.
Princess Tiara and the Crown of Virtues is a fairy tale adventure appealing to upper elementary and middle grade readers. The story celebrates the author’s real life nieces and nephews too. As readers enter the life of the royal family of the Kingdom of Fruitful, they relate to the delightful virtues each of the seven princesses and princes portray (these same virtures correspond to the real life virtues of Janet’s nieces and nephews).
On a different note, the story is also written as a resource for parents and teachers. Designed to support literacy instruction, there are supplemental materials available for on the author’s Gumroad site. Having taught for nearly 20 years, Janet knows that classroom teachers are always looking for quality stories to use in instruction.
Unlike the plethora of darker tales that flood the market for middle grade and teen readers, this story focuses on celebrating the call to live virtuously. There are spiritual undertones interspersed throughout the tale, including the “Old One” — a mystical character Princess Tiara meets at her crowning.
Janet is also the author of The Ministry of the Unveiled Face (available wherever books are sold). Her website contains both non-fiction and poetry pieces. Additionally, her writing has appeared in literary journals and anthologies.
