Introduction
Hello! I am Guan Qi, a self-taught, multidisciplinary creator and the proud mother of two wonderful daughters who inspire my artistic journey every day. My brand, Guan Qi Art, celebrates the beauty of family connections and the creative spirit inherent in every child. Through my work, I aim to capture the joys and complexities of family life, encouraging children to explore their imaginations and embrace their unique qualities.
With this spirit in mind, I am thrilled to present my second children’s book, Crown Girls, a delightful story that introduces young readers to two enchanting princesses: Princess Beth and Princess Vicki. This book is a heartfelt tribute to the innocence and creativity of childhood, reflecting the values I hold dear as a mother and an artist.

Princess Beth’s Story
About Princess Beth
Princess Beth is a talented girl who loves to sing, and her joyful melodies fill the air! She enjoys drawing, with imaginative artwork bursting with colors, just like her vibrant personality. As the big sister, she has a strong sense of responsibility, caring for her little sister and being her best friend and partner in adventures. Though she is a bit shy, she is eager to make friends and always ready to lend a hand when others need help. Princess Beth dreams of having a cute puppy as a friend, but for now, she has a pet goldfish named Spot!
Princess Vicki’s Story
About Princess Vicki
Princess Vicki is a little philosopher, full of unique ideas. I call her the “Princess from the Planet of Ice Cream” because she loves all kinds of colorful ice cream! She enjoys listening to music and finds joy in quietly immersing herself in melodies. Sometimes, she sits alone in the garden, soaking in the beautiful colors of the sunset, excitedly sharing her thoughts about the moon with her family. Vicki loves reading and often asks her father to read to her—what a clever little princess! Whenever she sees something touching, she quietly wipes away her tears. But when she’s being naughty or upset, she rolls her eyes and stomps her feet, just like her daddy! Haha!
Crown Girls is a vibrant tale that invites children into the whimsical world of Princess Beth and Princess Vicki. Through their adventures, readers will discover the importance of friendship, creativity, and self-acceptance. This story serves not only as entertainment but also as a nurturing guide for children to understand their emotions and the world around them.
The Creative Journey
The inspiration for Crown Girls stems from the everyday moments I share with my daughters. Their laughter, curiosity, and boundless imagination remind me of the magic that exists in our daily lives. As we sing, draw, and create together, I realize that these simple activities foster a strong bond and provide opportunities for growth.
In Crown Girls, Princess Beth embodies the joy of creativity. Her happy melodies fill the air with light, and her colorful drawings reflect her vibrant personality. As a responsible big sister, Beth cares for her little sister and serves as a true friend and partner in adventures.
Princess Vicki, on the other hand, is a little philosopher, pondering the wonders of the world. Known as the Princess from the Planet of Ice Cream, she offers a unique perspective on life’s experiences. Through her love of music and appreciation for nature’s beauty, Vicki teaches readers the importance of contemplation and joy in everyday moments.
