This book doesn’t shy away from the issues Pricess Diana faced. I think sometimes we think being royality is all sunshine and rainbows. I like that this book showed how hard it can be to alway be in the eye of the public. It also gives opportunity to talk to kids about topics that sometimes can be hard to bring up.

I read this book for free thanks to NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback.
I have always enjoyed reading about the royal family. As a little girl I found them glamorous and fascinating. Diana and her famous kindness captivated me, and her death devastated me and the rest of the world.
This cute and sweet addition to the book series is a must read.. I can't wait to own a copy if my own.
Thank you.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I thought this was once again a very cute and informative biography for young children. It talked about how Diana was such a kind hearted person who had her ups and downs. Who thought she found love, but was mistaken. I thought it was interesting how they talked about her eating disorder. I also like how they talked about always helping people out when she was a princess and after the divorce and how much she loved being a mother. This one is one of my favorites from the series.

I always enjoy the Little People Big Dreams books. This one covers Princess Diana. Unlike some other books of the series, her bulimia and the divorce with Prince Charles are also covered. However, I was a bit taken aback by the abrupt ending, an illustration of the palace doors showing a banner stating "Princess Diana, we love you and miss you", while Diana's death is not mentioned at all. It is mentioned in the biography at the end, but I would have prefered it to be part of the story. I enjoyed the illustrations. Overall a nice book that I can recommend.

Prefer this to the one about Charles but have to say that I'm uncomfortable with the idea of either being part of the Little People, Big Dreams series of books.

I was unsure how the series would tackle Princess Diana's life and death. I think overall it was done well. The author hasn't shied away from the eating disorder or depression. It did feel a little abrupt ending wise, and perhaps could have also included reference to her sad untimely death and her values living on in her children to round it off

Such a sweet book to teach kids about her kindness as well as her struggles. I like how it broached her eating disorder because it’s told in a way that kids can understand (and possibly identify with).

Great look into the life of the Princess of Wales, highlighting not only her caring nature and philanthropy but also her personal struggles with bulimia and depression. I was somewhat surprised at the extent of the discussion of bulimia, given the young target audience. But Diana's untimely death was not alluded to -- perhaps a wise move so as not to upset young readers even more.

I admit that I was curious to see how this excellent series would present Princess Diana, in particular in terms of what her dream was. I wondered i the focus would be on her humanitarian work as, of course, she had so many tragedies prior to her death.
Credit to the author; she presented Diana’s disappointments and struggles in a matter of fact way. For example, mention is made of her parents’ divorce and Diana’s own collapsing marriage. Diana’s bulimia is also noted in a simple way. All of this is counterbalanced by an emphasis on her kindness, her love of her sons, and the admiration that many had for her. The book does not make reference to her death.
I loved the illustrations in this book. They were very evocative.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group. All opinions are my own.

I will never stop recommending the Little People, Big Dreams books. This series does a fantastic job of teaching kids (and adults!) about iconic people in history.
I knew a bit about Princess Diana, but was in elementary school when she died. I didn't realize she had an eating disorder, and appreciated that the book did not shy away from talking about it.
Another great book to add to the series!

Love this books. So sweet and cute.
Such a easy wait for kids to learn something. Thanks to netgalley for this book

This short story, complemented with beautiful illustrations, briefly outlines the life of Princess Diana and some of the positive things she had been involved in. It puts an emphasis on her kindness and shares her accolades and work that was most important to her.

This story also touches on sensitive topics that may not be appropriate for younger readers such as Diana’s struggle with bulimia, her public divorce, and the pressure of being in the public eye taking its toll on her mental well-being. However it is a great way for parents to open up the discussion with their children through sharing Diana’s story.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books through NetGalley.
It is hard to believe this is the 98th book in this biography series. Sanchez Vegara has carved her place in this field by presenting historical figures to elementary level readers at a level they can comprehend. She shares Diana's life from birth through her divorce and on to how she created a space for herself promoting causes she believed in. Though she does not include her death in the narrative, she does include it with the timeline at the end of the book.
The author brings historical figures to life and I always look forward to reading her latest books.

Good book for children. Children love to pictures/illustrations with content. So author has done a good job. Also the publisher.

This is great for kids who want to learn more about Princess Diana! I even learned some things. The book is perfect for kids who enjoy nonfiction and enjoy learning about real people.. This book is perfect for any student who may be doing some sort of project or assignment about Princess Diana too! It gave some great information without being too much to understand which makes it perfect for kids!

The latest edition of the Little People, Big Dreams series examines Princess Diana.
As we all know, there are some very big topics in Diana's life, and the book covers some of those (eating disorder, mental health, third person in the marriage) well - considering this is a book meant for children, it handles those subject with tact and uses the right level of language. The end of her life isn't really mentioned, which is perhaps understandable considering the target audience, but it did mean the story wasn't totally completed in my opinion.
As always, lovely illustrations, and a great timeline at the end.

This is such a beautifully presented book for young children. I love the Little People, Big Dreams series and we use lots of them in my school for teaching children about inspirational people. The addition of the Princess Diana title will be so interesting for people to read.
I've learnt things about Diana that I never knew by reading this book. I think it may open up a pathway for conversations about mental health and eating disorders to be discussed safely.

Very informative book about the life of Princess Diana the worlds most loved princess that touched the hearts of many different people. It also gives information about Princess Diana’s life after she married Prince Charles.

This was adorable and showcased that Princess Diana was always nice and spread kindness to others. I do like how they address Charles' heart belonging to another and Diana's issue with her body image. It does directly mention bulimia and what it is, which is something to be aware of before you read this.

Thank you to NetGalley and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for an ARC of this book.
This book was great. It showed the high points of Dianas life and low points as well. I think this book was great.
