Here Comes the Tutu Queen: The Book That’s Moving Women, Girls, and Families to Tears — in the Best Way

Gainesville, Virginia May 12, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Childrens author, entrepreneur, and literacy advocate Carylee The Tutu Queen Carrington has released her fifth childrens book, Here Comes the Tutu Queen, and the response from families, educators, and communities across the country has been nothing short of extraordinary. The book, which celebrates confidence, courage, and the power of a crown, is already turning heads and opening hearts, among readers of every age.

Written for young girls yet resonating far beyond its intended audience, Here Comes the Tutu Queen is a vivid, joyful story that affirms every girls right to stand tall, lead with grace, and know the full measure of her worth. With language that dances off the page and characters that feel like family, Carrington has crafted a book that reminds readers, young and old, that confidence is not something you earn. It is something you wear.

I didnt know this would be a book that I needed, and Im an adult.

Shelly, Educator

That sentiment is echoed by readers throughout the community. The book has found its way into bedrooms, classrooms, Girl Scout troops, and living rooms, proving that the message of Here Comes the Tutu Queen transcends age. Parents report that their daughters are not just reading it, they are living it.

My daughter Abby requests this book every night.
