After over 45 years of creating books that are loved by families and respected by teachers, DK has brought together an expert creative team to deliver this celebratory book about our Queen, in honour of her Platinum Jubilee. Educators and history experts from across the UK and Commonwealth have collaborated to supplement the warm, inclusive story; working with illustrators, designers, and editors to put together the ultimate guide to Queen Elizabeth and her reign for children. The team has worked closely with the Department for Education and Royal Collection Trust at every stage of the book's creation.

An official Platinum Jubilee souvenir that explores the incredible life and legacy of Queen Elizabeth and how her historic reign has shaped the world.

Published in honour of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee 2022, this stunning book is a perfect tribute to the extraordinary life and amazing times of Britain's most beloved, longest-reigning monarch. Now that her remarkable reign has come to an end, this book looks back on the story of the young princess who grew up to be Queen, and celebrates many of the incredible achievements, people, and places that have become part of her enduring, unique legacy.

There is a treasure box hidden away in Great Granny Joyce's home, bursting with all kinds of things... A photo of a young woman wearing a crown, a map of the world, newspaper clippings, and so much more, marking the amazing events of the last 70 years. There is so much to look at that little Isabella doesn't know where to begin! Did you know that Princess Elizabeth was only 25 when she became Queen? Or that she made an appearance at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics alongside James Bond? And that world-changing inventions like the World Wide Web, as well as historic milestones like the first female Prime Minister of the UK all happened during our Queen's watch?

Delightfully playful illustrations, fascinating facts, and information sidebars fill every page to tell the full story of a Queen who was an inspiration to so many people, and who enchanted everyone she met, all over the world. Embark on this royal journey of discovery and show what you know with a surprise quiz at the end!
