(Review written for 'Queen Elizabeth II')
This beautifully written biography picture book is about the life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022). Princess Elizabeth never expected to be Queen. She loved animals, played with her father’s corgis, and rode her shetland pony, Peggy. However, when she turned 10, King Edward VII abdicated, and her father was crowned King. At age 18, Princess Elizabeth joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service and trained to become a driver and mechanic to serve her country in WWII. At just 25 years old, Elizabeth was crowned Queen after her father, King George IV, died. Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-serving monarch ...in British history. She lived a life of service. Queen Elizabeth II is a wonderful role model for our children as she served her country with her eyes on Christ.
As a girl mom, I want to introduce my girls to women like Queen Elizabeth II, who served Christ with humility and devotion. Queen Elizabeth serves as a remarkable role model, encouraging our girls to serve God faithfully.
If you are looking for biographies, I highly recommend the "Do Great Things for God" series. A series that focuses on how God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
