Children in state-funded primary schools will receive a free commemorative book to mark Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee from this month.
Designed as an official once-in-a-lifetime commemoration of the Platinum Jubilee and written in collaboration with royal experts and historians, the book will tell the story of a young girl, Isabella, visiting her Great Granny Joyce who tells her about the Queen and this year’s Jubilee.
In the story, Isabella sifts through Great Granny Joyce’s treasure box of souvenirs, which act as introductions to the contents of the book. These include recent and historical events across the UK and Commonwealth, inspirational people, landmark innovations and inventions, and a selection of the best art, design, and culture.
