Yileya Fields
Princess Cupcake Jones
Author Ylleya Fields was
hunting for books to read to her eldest daughter and was struck by the
small selection of titles featuring modern African American characters.
Blending both of her daughters’ images and personalities, Fields decided
to take matters into her own hands and created
Princess Cupcake Jones.
The series, which is composed of Princess Cupcake Jones and the Missing
Tutu, Princess Cupcake Jones Goes to School, and Princess Cupcake Jones and the Queen’s Closet, not only teaches readers extremely valuable life lessons, but
all three books also consist of subtle
positive messages within each illustrated page. The word “LOVE” is
hidden in every page to remind each child what really matters most, and
to give them a fun and interactive experience while reading.
Princess Cupcake Jones is an extremely important series for all children, but it is a crucial series for all young African
American girls and boys who find it difficult to find modern book characters to relate to.
