A thought-provoking story that encourages us all to sit up and take
notice.
Nobody notices the queen on the corner. Nobody, that is . . . except one
young girl. Through her eyes, the woman who dwells in the abandoned plot
is a warrior queen, with many battles fought and won. When, one day,
danger comes to the street and the queen on the corner sounds the alarm,
the little girl must find a way to thank her. Can she bring the
community together to turn the queen's corner into a home?
"This hopeful tale uses a youthful view of the world to imagine what our
society could be like if all people and their experiences were valued
and respected. Sweet and thought-provoking"--Kirkus Reviews
"Told from the viewpoint of a small child, it gently reminds us that
everyone has a story - struggles and successes, ups and downs - and
everyone needs a place to call home"--Julia Green, children's
author
"A beautiful and thought provoking book for children - and adults - that
shines a light on some of the issues surrounding homelessness. And it's
inspired by real people. Like the author says: Look out for the Queens
and Kings"--Shelter Homeless Charity
