Hoe kies 'n seun tussen sy ouers? En hoe gemaak as daar 'n mooi
meisiekind ook in die prentjie kom? Johannes, sy ma en sy broer
Petrus woon op Clanwilliam. Vir die Desembervakansie gaan kuier
Johannes by sy pa op Wuppertal, waar hy nie net seunsavonture saam
met sy nuwe vriend Frikkie beleef nie, maar ook 'n meisie ontmoet
wat sy hart laat hamer. Johannes voel al hoe meer dat hy graag
permanent by sy pa wou kom bly, maar hy kom gou agter dat alles nie
altyd eenvoudig is nie, en dat daar dalk 'n goeie rede is waarom sy
ma moes weggaan.
"There once is a Queen ever constant to her people..." From the
Nation's Favourite Storyteller Sir Michael Morpurgo comes a poetic
celebration of our Queen and longest reigning monarch, beautifully
illustrated in watercolour by acclaimed artist Michael Foreman.
Created in partnership with the Jubilee Pageant Committee. There
once was a little girl, born a princess. While she was still a
young woman, she became a queen, our Queen Elizabeth II. Her reign
of seventy years, making her the longest serving female monarch in
history, saw her stand steadfast through triumph and tribulation,
and through the monumental changes that have shaped our world. This
remarkable queen remained devoted to crown, to country . . . and a
corgi or two! Beginning with the late queen as a little girl,
planting an oak tree with her father, There Once is a Queen follows
her incredible story in a way that will bring this historic reign
vividly to life for readers, big and small, around the globe. An
exquisite gift book and commemoration of the 2022 Platinum Jubilee,
it marks a unique moment in our shared history and will be a
treasured keepsake for generations to come.
