Meet Honey, a sweet Highland calf with a big dream. From the rolling hills of her home, Honey can see a magical castle in the distance where one lucky cow is chosen each year to live as a Royal Highland. Honey is sure life in the kingdom must be perfect-and she hopes she’ll be the one selected.

At the exciting Royal Gathering, Honey bravely steps into the show and catches the eye of Princess Emma. Before she knows it, Honey’s wish comes true. The castle is beautiful, the grass is delicious, and the parades sparkle but something important is missing.

As Honey settles into royal life, she begins to miss her family and the simple moments she shared with them. With the help of Princess Emma, Honey learns a gentle, meaningful lesson: the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence, and home is where your heart truly belongs.

Perfect for ages 3-7, Honey Highland Wants to Be Royal is a heartwarming children’s picture book about courage, belonging, and being proud of where you come from. Ideal for bedtime reading, classroom read-aloud, and kids who love farm animals, gentle adventures and princess stories with heart.
