Great for kids to learn about Princess Diana. Easy to read for young reader.

Great book for kids! I got these for my local children's library from their wish list. The kids are excited about reading them.

This quick read looks at the life of Princess Diana and highlights what she "did" as Princess of Wales -- caring for the people, meeting people at eye level, with open arms, A hand shake or a hug and a smile. She used her title, and visibility to draw attention and publicity to causes she felt were important and in need of attention. HIV/AIDS, and Land Mines being among them. Princess Diana didn't get her fairytale ending, yet she managed to get a generation to dream, and hope alongside her, and inspired millions to reach out and help others.

Princess Diana was about as complex a human being as one could envision. She's also a person who seemed to suddenly leap above and past the difficulties and tragedies of her life to assume a far larger identity; an identity large because of the enormous, positive impact she had by her words and her actions. Those public factors were backed up by the countless personal notes she penned to people in distress, especially children, to let them know of her continuing support. Her astonishing natural beauty and sense of style were in obvious contrast to the pre-Ball Cinderella who we learned had existed inside the Royal Family.After her divorce from Prince Charles, we saw the butterfly emerging from her cocoon, the Princess who didn't need the Prince at the Ball in order to be part of a magnificent story. As William married his Kate and they became parents, the profound changes in how future Royals would be raised - and the public with whom they would be in much closer relationship - grew evident. Consider William's ease among people of all sorts and conditions vs. his father's stiffness, Kate's love of grocery shopping and cooking dinners for friends close since their days at St. Andrew's, if one needs evidence. How could some of the the grace, style, growth, maturation, and essence of "The People's Princess" be condensed into a book for young readers, I wondered. How could the example of a life transformed in front of us, in turn transforming others, be written so as to be observed by readers not yet old enough to grasp her importance - far beyond her title and relationships? Safe to say this is a book which young readers will not only enjoy, but will put before them the same kind of challenge in the story told by many of the so-called fairy tales. This challenge will be twofold: first, to enter into the struggle with their own frailties and the move past the ill that happened in their lives; second, to then reach out in service to others to improve their lives. It's a profound challenge, and one which this book ably conveys.

Great kids book for granddaughter’s biography report. Easy to read quickly and contained all the key points on the life of Princess Diana. It was delivered the same day I ordered which helped her get her biography report completed over the weekend before due date.

Our 12 yr old granddaughter absolutely loves this "Who was..." series! She has become interested in Princess Diana because of the British monarchy. She is starting to read several books in this series, and it is a joy to see her so serious and eager to read.
