Springfield Museums will host acclaimed children’s author Phaea Crede for an action-packed event celebrating her new picture book, Princess Battle Royale, an exciting introduction to the world of wrestling. Princesses from around the globe—including Rapunzel, the Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red, and more—compete for the chance to be crowned victor and wear the Enchanted Championship Belt in this funny and heartwarming tale. Following the presentation, attendees will have the chance to create their own wrestling character and throw their hat in the ring!
