That Pippa Middleton, she's one crafty gal!

Kate Middleton's little sis took a hands-on approach with some teeny-tiny pals Thursday, swinging by a crafting workshop-turned-kiddie party in a London bookstore to help hype the launch of her new party-planning book, Celebrate.

Dressed in a snug black dress, her gorgeous locks loose and flowy, the 29-year-old got down with a trio of little pals at Daunt Books in London, where they indulged in some leaf-rubbing, craft-making and face-painting.

Those tykes are learning from a real pro: Pippa's had years experience working for her parents' famous party-planning business. In Celebrate, she not only offers expert tips and tricks on how to throw the perfect bash, but also opens up candidly about what's it's like being the sister of Prince William's wife—and being known for her derrière.

"It's a bit startling to achieve global recognition before the age of 30 on account of your sister, your brother-in-law and your bottom," she writes in the book. "I certainly have opportunities many can only dream of—but in most ways I'm a typical girl in her 20s trying to forge a career and represent herself in what can sometimes seem rather strange circumstances."

Well, this self-described typical girl-turned-author now has a big reason to—wait for it!—celebrate.
