Luisa wants to be a princess is her first book for children.
Early in the morning, Luisa is woken up by her mother to take her to the kindergarten. She, however, is not willing to get up, let alone to put on the clothes her mother has chosen for that day. She wants to put the princess’ dress on and to wear the princess’ crown. Mother and daughter can’t reach an agreement and the mother even threatens Luisa to leave her on her own and that is something that Luisa had never ever expected.
Eventually, Luisa not only dresses herself up and wears the princess’ costume but she also twists her mother’s arm so that her mom also wears the night dress.
In this way, smartly dressed and happy, Luisa and her mother take the tram to the kindergarten and to work, while the rest of the surprised commuters and friends look up to them and smile.
