In an exclusive reveal, former Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Tebow introduces her latest literary creation, Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose. This enchanting children's book, illustrated by Olga and Aleksey Ivanov, is set to be released next spring through Tommy Nelson Publishing. Aimed at young readers aged 4 to 8, the story follows a Dalmatian named Paris on a transformative journey to discover her true worth and purpose. Tebow’s inspiration for this book stems from her concern over the growing number of young people grappling with feelings of aimlessness. She hopes that this tale will initiate meaningful discussions between parents and children about self-worth and identity.
A Heartwarming Tale of Self-Discovery
In the vibrant and whimsical world of Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose, readers are introduced to Paris, a Dalmatian who embarks on an adventure to find her missing crown. Along the way, she encounters various animals, each facing their own challenges. Through these interactions, Paris learns valuable lessons about empathy, self-worth, and the importance of embracing one's unique qualities. The story unfolds during a season of change, where Paris discovers that her role as a princess is not defined by material possessions but by her ability to inspire and uplift others. Set against a backdrop of lush forests and majestic castles, the narrative weaves together themes of courage, kindness, and personal growth.
The book's release comes at a time when many young individuals are struggling to find their place in the world. Tebow, who published her memoir A Crown that Lasts in 2024, shares that she was moved by a recent Harvard report revealing that nearly 60% of young people feel they lack purpose. By writing this book, she aims to offer a beacon of hope and encouragement to these young minds, reminding them that their value lies far beyond external appearances or material possessions.
Meanwhile, 2025 has been a year of joyous milestones for the Tebow family. On January 14, Demi-Leigh and her husband, retired NFL player Tim Tebow, announced the exciting news of their first child on Instagram. Reflecting on this new chapter, Tebow expressed her gratitude for the partnership and love shared with Tim, emphasizing the importance of raising their child together with love and purpose.
As for her future readers, Tebow hopes that Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose will help children understand their unique place in the world. "Every child is a unique masterpiece, created for a special purpose," she says. "My hope is that this story helps children discover their true identity and inspires them to live with purpose, knowing they can make a real difference in the world."
From a reader's perspective, this book promises to be more than just an engaging story; it offers a profound message that resonates deeply with both children and adults. In a world where self-doubt often clouds young minds, Princess Paris Finds Her Purpose serves as a gentle reminder that every individual has inherent value and the potential to contribute meaningfully to society. It encourages readers to look beyond superficial measures of success and focus on cultivating inner strength and compassion.
