      This is a historical fiction story about a real princess that lived years ago. Little Princess Audrey had everything she could want. She had lots of dresses and lots of necklaces. She loved her necklaces. One day she put on her favorite necklace and went to the church to light a candle for her sick sister. She loved the peacefulness of the church. Suddenly it wasn’t so peaceful. There was a lady with a crying baby praying. Audrey mentioned the crying baby. The baby grabbed her hand and necklace. When Audrey tried to hand the baby back it was tangled in her necklace. She told the mother that she thought the baby was hungry. Food is what the lady had been praying for. When Audrey realized they had no food she gave the woman her neck to sell and buy food. When she went home her mother found her crying in a closet. She was so sad that they had so much and there were so many who had nothing. Her mother talked with her about her kind heart and doing what was right.She grew up and became queen. She continued to give away her possessions to help the poor. When she had given everything away she became a nun to continue to help others. This was a wonderful story of compassion and giving of yourself. It is wonderful to find such wonderful and motivating stories based on history for children.
