I say this every time, but I love this book series. (Little people, big dreams series)
I have read tons of books within the series now.

This book includes some of the hard hitting moments of Diana's life such as the divorce, bulimia - yet it doesn't address Diana's death. I found that a little strange.

The illustrations as always are lovely, and the illustrations in this book look different to the others in the series.

Another sweet book in the 'little people, big dreams' series!

This entire series are all short, descriptive, and easily read books about famous folk. This book tells the story of Princess Diana and her short but very full life. I am not one of those into British royalty, but the story is well told and the book is enjoyable.

What makes this book different from all others? And why should anyone care?
"Once upon a time, a girl called Diana was born into a noble British family". This book is the latest installment of the Little People, Big Dreams series, and highlights the life of Princess Diana. Beloved by all, even after being stripped of the title of "Her Highness", Diana was a human rights activist and caring mother till the tragic end of her life.

Trigger warning: Brief mention of bulimia and Diana's experience with such

Pros: I adore the Little People, BIG DREAMS series, and my favorites include the books on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Queen Elizabeth II. I'm always excited to see a new book in this series on NetGalley because they are so dependable with great information and fantastically detailed (and accurate!) illustrations. I think this delightful series would make wonderful gifts.

Specific to this book on Princess Diana, I loved how it featured the causes she championed, including her work with AIDS and landmines. I also loved the attention to detail in the illustrations of her outfits, including her black sheep sweater!

Cons: Like other books in this series, there are some topics featured that make it more advanced than just a picture book. This is not a negative--it's just a note that the cover art might suggest it is a picture book when really it's something adults will want to help young readers with (for example, this book discusses bulimia).

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the opportunity to read this book.

This picturebook is a nonfiction portrayal of Princess Diana. For a short book that’s clearly for young readers, with rather rudimentary drawings, it touched on a surprising number of heavy issues, including divorce, eating disorders, mental health issues, landmines, and death. It’s definitely not a light bedtime story, and likely to lead to lots of questions for parents to answer.

My kids adore the Little People, Big Dreams book series, and Princess Diana is a lovely new addition! Telling the story of the People's Princess, this book describes Diana's childhood, some of her life's struggles, and her philanthropic efforts. I highly recommend this book for other young biography lovers who want to learn about a real life princess!

As a content warning. the book discusses bulimia and divorce.

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley for gifting me with an ARC to review. My family enjoyed it!

I read this with my 7 year old daughter as she brings a lot of these books home from school.

The book is very engaging - the pictures and colours used are fantastic and really bring the story to life. The story is well told. I was a little concerned how certain topics were going to be handled, and parents/teachers should perhaps do a pre-read first. This being said, it did open up conversations with my daughter about bulimia, AIDS and landmines. Something we will need to cover in more depth after reading!

However, I love these series of books and this edition is another welcome addition.

I read this book with my young daughter and we both really liked it. I enjoyed that it shared a glimpse into Diana’s struggles without being sordid, and shared that she truly was the people’s princess.

What I wish there was more of us more about her role as a mom, but the story was written well and was very cute.

This will be a great way for Princess Diana stans like myself to share their love for her with their children, and to ensure that her legacy lives on.

Given the subject matter, I knew I would enjoy this read. It is a lovely children’s book retelling the life of Princess Diana, from her childhood to her royal days and untimely death. The concept was well executed. Kids learn about Diana’s inspiring life, without shying away from the more difficult parts, like the princess’s marital issues or eating disorder, but all done in good taste, it’s never subversive. You get a good sense of her life and personality, how she became the people’s princess through her actions, kindness and good heart.

It’s a lovely tribute to a much appreciated public figure. I’m giving it four solid stars. I would have given it five stars if the illustrations had been less “childish”. That’s the only “flaw” I would find with this book.

I was drawn to this book because my interest in Princess Diana. The cover is cute. I’ve seen this series of books before, but never read one. I’m not sure the target age as I couldn’t locate it on the book. The content of this book seemed mature with discussions of bulimia, depression, divorce, and cheating. For older, more mature children this could be an opportunity to discuss these difficult topics. An okay book, but not something I’d recommend.

As a huge fan of everything royal and of the Little People, Big Dreams books, I was really excited to read this book to my daughter. This is a great biographical story about Princess Diana that is easy for children to understand. The illustrations are fun and unique, and I enjoyed the extra facts at the end of the book, which included a biographical timeline, historical photos, and a detailed profile of the People's Princess. The reading age for this book is listed as 4-7 years, but I personally felt that the topics discussed in this book were too mature for that age group.

Content warning: divorce, eating disorders/bulimia, sexism, AIDS

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited to read this book, as I grew up loving Princess Diana, and I wanted to share her story with my daughter.

I thought the book did a great job talking about Diana’s life, until it mentioned her bulimia pretty in depth. (It explained that she would eat tons of food and then make herself get sick). In my opinion, that was a bit much to mention in a children’s book; and think this information could be removed.

I adored this. My kids did too. These books are just lovely little glimpses into people and they make me and my children smile.
