Part of the Do Great Things For God series.
Princess Elizabeth never expected to be Queen. But when she was ten, her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated and everything changed… Her father took over as King, but after 15 years on the throne, he died. So when she was just 25 years old, Elizabeth was crowned Queen and has become the longest-serving monarch in British history.
This inspiring children’s biography of Queen Elizabeth II chronicles key moments in her life. It also highlights her Christian faith, in particular what she has said in her Christmas Day speeches.
Young children will learn more about the incredible life and faith of Britain’s longest-serving monarch and they will be inspired about the great things they can do for God.

There is only one person that the Queen addresses as "Your Majesty", and in this wonderful book we discover who that is and why she does that.
This excellent children’s book tells the story of a wonderful woman, Queen Elizabeth, whose enduring faith in God has helped her provide strong leadership to our nation for some 70 years. She is a shining example of how God can guide and help us when we seek to follow Him and serve the needs of others just as Jesus did.
Packed full of fun facts, fascinating snippets of history and deeply moving extracts from the queen’s speeches, this book manages to be both inspirational and informative. The extraordinary courage God gave Queen Elizabeth II to point a nation to Christ through her words and actions clearly demonstrates that the heart of the monarch is in the hands of God.
Looking forward to creating a street/village trail using the free PDF resources and giving the book as a prize at the end. Suitable for primary age children. Easy to give away
Thank-you for an excellent price on this book which has been well received by the local schools - even one which is not a church school. It is informative, accessible and beautiful to look at and to handle. A wonderful tribute to the faith of our queen.
The Queen has been a beacon of faith in Christ in even the darkest of times. This book points everyone delightfully to the service of The King of Kings, who died so all who who trust in Him, might be forgiven, and enjoy God forever.
I loved it, so simple but true.
