The Queen's Feet (Northern Lights Books for Children)

About this book

Christie Harris Illustrated Childrens Literature Prize (2007) nominee Canadian Childrens Book Centre Our Choice 2007 Queen Daisy cant help it - Its her feet that are misbehaving! Queen Daisy had a great deal of trouble with her feet. They had a mind of their own and did not like behaving in a royal way. Proper shoes were out of the question and sometimes her feet did not wear shoes at all! Her feet were especially naughty when Queen Daisy forced them to dress properly. At balls her feet would kick high in the air or tap-dance on the marble palace floors. Once when a king from a neighboring kingdom brought his mean bullying ways to Queen Daisys court her feet hauled off and kicked the king in the ankle. Thats when a meeting had to be called of all the wise women and wizards and footmen in the kingdom to find a solution to Queen Daisys terrible problem. And what a solution it turns out to be. Queen Daisys feet will dance into the hearts of restless feet everywhere. Sarah Elliss wonderfully whimsical tale will ring a bell with all children and adults whose feet get restless. And Duan Petricic illustrations may well encourage a little more unroyal behavior.
