Courtney wanted the book to be a
happy place for disadvantaged children
to “escape to and be a normal little kid
again, and remind them that no matter
where they are, or what is going on, they
can always escape to their happy place
inside their imaginations.” The story is
showing children that they can use their
dreams and imagination to rise out of a
negative situation.
Courtney’s inspiration for the book
began at a young age. She used to
spend hours playing with her next door
neighbours in her front yard pretending
to be princesses. “Some of my favourite
childhood memories were spent in that
garden, even if most of the memories
were made up in our imaginations!”
After doing her own time in Princess
Boarding School, Courtney has created
the life she has always dreamt of. She
carries the Miss World Australia 2014
crown and is immersed in fashion and
glamour of the beauty pageant world.
Her own life is a perfect example of
how imagination has the power to make
dreams a reality.
