A beautifully illustrated modern-day fairy tale, filled with friendship, fun and fairness.
In a faraway land, a happy queen rules over the happiest of kingdoms. But when a new queen moves in next door and starts showing off her ginormous, brand-new, super-duper throne, the happy queen can’t help feeling a little jealous snd decides she MUST have a throne of her own . . . no matter the cost.
Can she learn that what makes a true queen is not what she has, but how she treats others?
Filled with humour and heart, this beautiful picture book encourages everyone to be grateful for what we have and who we have to share it with.
