Princess Diana by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Princess Diana by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara

Discover the tragic yet beautiful story of Princess Diana told in a child-friendly way, from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series.

Known for her kind-hearted nature from a young age, Diana touched the hearts of many. She was working as a primary school teacher when she met Prince Charles and they married in front of millions of people. She soon shot to fame, and she used her status to bring awareness to a number of charitable issues across the globe, from land mines to the AIDS crisis. 

Diana was also one of the first public figures to openly discuss eating disorders and showed that recovery is possible. This book addresses Diana’s struggles with bulimia and features an age-appropriate description of the eating disorder, as well as how seeking help was an important step in Diana’s recovery.  

Today, as we approach the 30th anniversary of her death, Diana is still remembered as the princess of the people who encouraged us all to stand up what we believe in.  

This inspirational book also features dynamic illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the Princess’s life.  

Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream.
