Learning to appreciate others' talents, perspectives, and differences is one of the major transitions from seeing as a child toward seeing as an adult. In Magnolia Mudd and the Super Jumptastic Launcher Deluxe, Magnolia is a curious, enthusiastic tinkerer who loves spending time with her Uncle Jaime, a like-minded engineer.
When Uncle Jaime introduces Magnolia to his fiancee and the wedding planning begins, Magnolia feels left out and rejected. She views herself as a scientist, and doesn't think science and math have a place in wedding planning. But Emily, Magnolia's future aunt, surprises Magnolia by helping her find a way to include and even celebrate her STEM interests - by inventing an awesome stomp rocket that transforms the traditional bouquet-tossing ritual into an amazing bouquet launch.

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
