Book Details

Nobody notices the queen on the corner. Nobody, that is... except one young girl. Through her eyes, the woman who dwells in the abandoned plot is a warrior queen, with many battles fought and won.

When, one day, danger comes to the street and the queen on the corner sounds the alarm, the little girl must find a way to thank her.

Can she bring the community together to turn the Queen's corner into a home?

“This hopeful tale uses a youthful view of the world to imagine what our society could be like if all people and their experiences were valued and respected. Sweet and thought-provoking”

-Kirkus Reviews

"This marvellous picture book with stunning artwork from Nia Tudor will quite possibly provide an introduction to young children about the concept of homelessness, and it does so in a gentle but still realistic way.”
