Review:

National Geographic Kids The Book of Queens shares stories of queen rulers, revolutions and even queens of music and fashion. There are plenty of amazing women that have ruled you may never have heard of before.

There is plenty of girl power here. Chapters are broken down into Women Who Ruled Empires, Legendary Leaders, Monarchs of Art, Culture Shapers and even Queens of Adventure. Did you know that Marie Antoinette was a teen queen? Many of us know that singer Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul and Dolly Parton the Queen of Country. Maya Lin designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. as a college student. Did you know that Calafia ruled an island with black female warriors who weilded golden weapons and tamed wild griffins? This guide will educated and inspire women and young girls to become queens in their own right.

The amazing photos and delightful illustrations of women who have taken charge can be found on every page. There are short bios explaining their accomplishments and challenges. Parents and teachers can use this guide to motivate, inspire and encourage kids to become more than they’ve ever imagined. History teaches us something about ourselves and these women are amazing role models.
