Discover the inspiring story of Queen Elizabeth II, the
longest-reigning monarch in British history, in this fascinating kids'
biography.
At just 25 years of age, Princess Elizabeth succeeded King George VI to
the British throne. This compelling book looks at Elizabeth's life as
both a public and private figure. It traces her early years as a
princess, her experiences in the women's army during World War II, her
coronation, and her life as queen both at home and in the public eye.
The book looks at Elizabeth's marriage to Prince Philip, her husband of
more than 70 years, and her life as a mother to her four children,
including her eldest son Prince Charles, the heir to the throne. In this
biography book for kids ages 8-11, learn how Elizabeth has worked
alongside 13 British prime ministers, met leaders from around the world,
and has remained a stable presence as head of the British royal family.
