Yes, that's it! Thank you so much!
I read this kid's book a while ago (not young kid, like juvenile fiction) about the youngest of four princesses. She's more or less normal, but no one cares because she's not going to be queen anyway. The middle sisters are twins. I think the eldest's name was Willow? Anyway, their aunt shows up and captures the king and queen (or something like that) and turns the oldest princess into a tree and the middle princess into swans. So the youngest one has to save them. She does and then her mother turns the aunt into a bug. It turns out that family has this white magic, but it is most powerful when all the sisters (of any generation) work together, so now the princesses have to do whatever magic the kingdom needs, but this is all found out in the conclusion, it doesn't go into them doing it. Also, the youngest princess tells everyone that she doesn't want to be queen after everything and they're all like, of course. You still have older sisters. The main character has red curly hair and maybe a temper? She's associated with fire, since her siblings are earth (the one that becomes a tree) and water and air (the two that became swans). The oldest princess is described as giving the impression of being taller then she actually is.
