The Queen On Our Corner by Lucy Christopher

The Queen On Our Corner Children’s Book by Lucy Christopher and Nia Tudor
No one notices the Queen on the corner. Nobody except one little girl. Through her eyes, the woman who dwells in the abandoned plot is a warrior queen, with many battles fought and won. One day, danger comes to the town 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?
Written by Lucy Christopher and beautifully illustrated by Nia Tudor, this children’s book is a lovely story of community and homelessness. A tale of personal battles and empathy. With large colourful pictures and an exciting plot, this is a great short book for a bedtime story.
