Commissioned by the UK government to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, this book is a celebration of The Queen’s 70 year reign and the achievements of the UK and Commonwealth that have taken place under her watch. Inspiring and informative, kids will learn more about their country, its history and future.

As primary school kids across the UK will receive this book as per the Department of Education, as well as it forming a part of the wider programme planned for The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, this title comes with an endorsement from DFE and the UK government, with there being a potential promotion from Members of the Royal Family. This will boost DK’s recognition and will show them to be a credible and reputable narrative nonfiction children’s publisher that adults should turn to when purchasing such books.

Beautiful and playful illustrations on every page accompany and bring to life the informative, but charming narrative. Age-appropriate facts that have been vetted by consultants are seamlessly integrated into a familiar story that will appeal to even the most reluctant of young readers.

Ideal for KS2, with references to Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings, Henry VIII, WW2, changing power of monarchs, the UK and Great Britain all covered in their school curriculum. This book also offers comprehensive, but simply put sections on topics outside of the curriculum like the monarchy and the Commonwealth, but this will only serve to enrich their knowledge.
