Book 3 characters proof

Book three in my seven-time award winning children’s chapter book series, The Pen Pieyu Adventures, Sir Princess Petra’s Mission, forthcoming, Fall 2015.

Book three Synopsis:

Sir Princess Petra has already attained her Knighthood in the Kingdom of Pen Pieyu and her non-princess-like Talent Certificate from Talent School, neither of which pleases her father, the king. 

The king writes up more silly rules in the royal rule book to deter Sir Princess Petra from her knightly ways and useless talent , and turn her into a real princess once and for all.

Will the king finally succeed with this newly written, ridiculous mission for Petra?

Endorsement by award-winning middle-grade author, Jeanne E. Rogers.
“Diane M. Robinson has created a heroine unlike any other in children’s literature. Sir Princess Petra sets a fine example for young readers, and for young girls, as the Princess teaches them what’s really important, like friends, being true, brave, honest, and always having faith in your Dragon! Ms. Robinson sets the bar by writing a truly charming and imaginative adventure series and I heartily recommend it.”
Jeanne E. Rogers, Author of the award winning middle grade fantasy, The Sword of Demelza.

Great Review for Sir Princess Petra’s Talent from Advices Book

 http://www.advicesbooks.com/index.php/review-of-sir-princess-petra-talents-by-diane-mae-robinson/ Review of Sir Princess Petra’s Talent, re-blog from Advices Book

This time we are very glad to speak about a children’s book. This work is suitable for children aged 7-12 years. That is a fairy tale enriched with magical words. Its title is Sir Princess Petra’s Talent’s and its author is Diane Mae Robinson, an established and rewarded writer of Children’s books and a writing instructor at the Creative Writing Institute.

The book we are reviewing is the second episode of The Pen Piery Adventures, a series set in the reign inhabited by the little, brave Princess Petra, her parents, namely the king and his queen and a royal council who supervises Petra’s friends while they try to follow the rules established by the royal book to became royal knights.

The book opens with the synopsis of the first episode, where the little, nine years Petragets the title of royal knight to have hushed the howling dragon Snarls. The latter becomes a friend of Petra, but in the book two, the parents of Petra expect their beloved princess to behave as a true Princess and not only as a royal knight. The king, hence, orders Petra to attend the Talent School to gain a talent certificate. If she refuses this proposal, she will be turned into a frog!

Naturally, Petra accepts to attend the School. In this new experience, the Princess is accompanied by her friends Snarls and Prince Duce Crablips of the Kingdom of Crablips. But which will be the talent that Petra will choose at the Talent School? The answer is in the book that we want to define a graceful masterpiece of the children’s literature.

Many readers or aspiring authors believe that writing a children’s book is easier that writing a fiction for young adults. Indeed, in order to fit style of writing for little readers, a writer must have high skills in creative writing. Thanks to her excellent writing skills, Diane Mae Robinson has been capable to create a perfect story for children.

Sir Princess Petra Talent’s is well written and created by using the proper words, sentences and adjectives, the sequences of words build a sort of poetry and this stylemakes the story more and more poetic and enchanting. This style emerges during each chapter of the book. Moreover, this work contains a high educational purpose because it  teaches children to develop their talent and abilities and overcome the several obstacles imposed by life.

This tale teaches, above all,  to face problems in a fun way. The adventures of Petra and her friends are, indeed, recounted with a humoristic tone and with words capable to lighten every difficult.

But not only, Sir Princess Petra’s Talent is also a book about the most important ethical values in life, namely sense of friendship, respect for other people and for nature, for the sky and the going of the seasons. This book is also enriched with drawings describing the story written by Diane Mae Robinson.

The writing of the author seems to paint and shape the same pictures of this fairy tale. To tell the truth, we have read this book with the mood of a child and we have remained happily charmed. We are sure readers will have the same opinion and much more!

One more thing: Sir Princess Petra Talent’s by Diane Mae Robinson is available onAmazon.

Another 5 Star Review for Sir Princess Petra

Award winning book, Sir Princess Petra

Award winning book, Sir Princess Petra


Barbara Ann Mojica  (Craryville, NY, USA)                    

5.0 out of 5 stars A PRINCESS WITH PIZAZZ!, January 5, 2014
As the story opens, we meet Princess Petra who is about to celebrate her birthday on the ninth day of the ninth month on the ninth year. According to royal custom, she may request anything she wishes as a birthday gift. Petra addresses her parents and informs them that she is tired of the usual gifts of jewelry and clothes. This year she wants to become a royal knight. Her father, King Longstride cannot find anything disallowing her request in the royal rulebook. However, she must choose and successfully accomplish one of three acts of royal bravery: capture a crocodile and make his skin into a royal leather chair, quiet the howling dragon named Snarls who lives in the Forest of Doom, or eat a roomful of raw onions! The princess dislikes onions and is friendly with the kingdom’s crocodile, so she quickly decides on quieting the dragon.Princess Petra departs the castle in a suit of armor made of pots and pans because all the royal armor is too big for her. Her weapon looks more like a cake knife than a sword. The poor princess soon meets adversity. During her adventures, she must figure out how to stop the dragon from howling and keeping the royal family awake, cope with a witch in the bog, and deal with an army of knights from a neighboring kingdom who want to challenge her. This princess has brains and common sense along with her beauty. She does not win her battles with force and bullying; Petra is a good judge of character and human nature! (even if some of those characters are not technically human) She has a wonderful sense of humor and can turn adversity into advantage.Petra provides an outstanding role model for young boys and girls for she has many lessons of courage, friendship and character to teach them. She and the other quirky characters in this book possess a delightful sense of humor. The black and white pencil drawings are soft and subtle complementing the quick moving text of this short chapter book which could be read in one sitting as a read aloud or in chapters for discussion in a classroom setting. Looking forward to reading more of The Pen Pieyu Adventures from this talented new author.

Robinson received the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author and took 2nd Place in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards for the first book in the series ‘Sir Princess Petra’

[May 21 2013, St. Paul, Alberta, Canada] Award winning Canadian author Diane Robinson has announced the forthcoming release of ‘Sir Princess Petra’s Talent’, the second book in ‘The Pen Pieyu Adventures’ series.Robinson was honored with two major awards for the first work in the children’s book series, ‘Sir Princess Petra’. She was awarded the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta Emerging Artists Award for Children’s Book Author and took 2nd place in the Purple Dragonfly Book awards for Children’s Chapter Book. ‘Sir Princess Petra’ features surprising plot twists and turns, brilliant flashes of humor, zany characters and is rooted in timeless values that shine through the charismatic main character. It is written in the tradition of C. S. Lewis and is reminiscent of ‘Shrek’. Reviewers have labeled the award winning book a ‘fantasy adventure that is sure to become a timeless classic.’In the story line of the first book, Princess Petra’s unusual birthday request to become a royal knight sends the royal court into a frenzy. Armed with a cake knife and a suit of the best royal pots and pans, Petra chooses to hush the howling dragon, Snarls, in the Forest of Doom and win her real armour. In ‘Sir Princess Petra’s Talent’, the king and queen want Petra to give up the silly knight nonsense and act like a princess.

“I’m very excited,” Robinson stated, ‘about the forthcoming release of ‘Sir Princess Petra’s Talent – The Pen Pieyu Adventures’. Book two introduces more quirky characters encountering humorous situations in their zany adventures within nine chapters.”

While dragon books are one of the most popular segments of fantasy fiction and children’s books in today’s marketplace, in these fantasy fiction books, Robinson uses the dragon books concept as the background to teaching young people traditional values. Ms. Robinson’s highly praised work demonstrates that dragon books can be something much more than dragon books.

Dragon Books For Children – Dragon Facts

Dragon books for children, and the dragon characters that star in those books, are as diverse as any other character in fantasy kids books.

Illustration by Samantha Kickingbird

Illustration by Samantha Kickingbird

There are many different types and species of dragons. From fierce and mean-spirited to humorous and magical.  Whatever the type of dragon in a story, those dragons have inspired us or terrorized us throughout the ages. 

Dragons are mythical creatures that appear in many different cultures and time periods going back as far as 4000 B.C. Medieval knights described dragons as serpents, monsters, and beasts. But there is something special and magical about dragons that keeps the reader interested.

Dragons are very intelligent creatures. They live in remote areas that are dark, damp and secluded, such as caves and old forests. Most dragons have wings, scales, and claws. And many breathe fire.

The imagination of the author is limitless when it comes to creating a dragon character. Sometime, the author abides by certain folklore of a particular region, and sometimes, it is the pure imagination of the author.

Books with dragons have been a part of our culture for centuries.. Whether these creatures are, or ever were, real doesn’t matter.  Our fascination with dragons is timeless.

Almost all dragon stories portray the dragon as the villain. I prefer to imagine the dragon as a friend and protector.

The dragon in my fantasy kids books is named Snarls. He is a friend.
