Editorial Reviews

This is the book I have long wanted to read to my princess-obsessed little girls. This beautiful book is visually stunning, and the adventures of these holy women are captivating for children and adults alike. Heroic virtue and sanctity is a sometimes tricky thing to explain to kids, but Fabiola Garza has given us a compelling book filled with engaging stories and beautiful illustrations that little children longing to be holy themselves will love, relate to, and return to again and again. This is a must-have for your family library.”

Katie Prejean McGrady

In Garza’s work, the feminine heart finds a compelling narrative—detailed, original, and rich in diversity. It joyfully reflects God’s unique calling in daily life, offering hope to those navigating the path to sainthood. Garza masterfully weaves together heaven and earth, making the divine accessible. I eagerly await every girl, my own included, discovering the inspiration within these pages.

Reading Princesses of Heaven: The Flowers brought such hope and zeal into my conversations with my children, especially my daughter who is greatly influenced by the characters and stories we read about. She discovered the saints with new eyes, learning about their lives in a unique way as princesses in these incredibly illustrated accounts. She found new heavenly friends in Princesses of Heaven, friends that will walk with her and pray for her for the rest of her life. I’m so grateful Fabiola made this book for girls everywhere to be able to find themselves as daughters of the King of Heaven with a special mission all their own.

When I was a little girl I wasn’t into princess books, but I would have loved this! It’s hard to have a princess book for all girls, but this is it! Fabiola is a gifted artist who will touch the heart of every young girl, inspiring them to be more than just princesses—to be saints. I love that she covers so many different saints so all little girls will find one they connect to.
