Throughout the pages of this gentle picture book, best-selling author Rachel
Ann Nunes and award-winning painter David Lindsley lovingly teach that every
girl and boy in this world is a daughter or son of our Heavenly
Father—no matter who they are, what they look like, or where
they live. Daughter of a King is a book that should be read by children of
all ages for its sweet and sweet message of love and acceptance.
Daughter of a King was awarded Best Book of the Year Award in 2003 by the
Independent LDS Booksellers Association.

What Others Are Saying
I love this book!!! My dad got it for me a few years ago when I was 10 or 11. I love it! It was so inspiring to my little mind and still is inspiring today! —Allyssa Doyle of Vandenberg AFB, CA
Possibly the most famous picture book to come out of the LDS market, "Daughter of a King" by best-selling author Rachel Ann Nunes is a sweet and poignant reminder to little girls, young women, and older women too, of their divine heritage as daughters of Heavenly Father, Who truly is The King . . . The first time I read this story, I was pregnant, and I blamed hormones for the tears that ran down my face. The hormones went away, but the tears didn't. This story is truly a reminder for any woman, regardless of denomination, that she is truly the daughter of the King. (For full review visit Families.com.) —Tristi Pinkston of UT
I borrowed this book from our library and read it to my children last night. I was absolutely amazed by the message. I have three children (6,2,1). My father went to the Crystal Palace this year, and although all my children met him, only my six-year-old will keep a few of the memories. As I read the book last night, my six-year-old reafirmed that he is a Prince, and his grandfather is with the King at the Crystal Palace.This is absolutely the best book on teaching children who they really are, and reminding us adults how we should behave. This is better than any self-help book, and a must for everyone with or without children. —A reader
I'm excited about my first picture book, Daughter of a
King, illustrated by talented artists
David Lindsley
and Ben Sowards.
David has created fourteen original paintings for the book. They are excellent!
Ben is responsible for the creative vignette paintings as well as the landscapes
in some of David's bigger paintings. He is also fabulously talented. The
story is one you will want to use to teach your children how important is
it to know that they are children of a Heavenly King. Or give to the favorite
women in your life to show them how special they are. David's paintings go
from a spring green to a celestial white as the story unfolds, and will keep
you captivated! Join Katie and Michael as they search for the path leading
home to the Crystal Palace.
Daughter of a King Presentations
Many groups have used Daughter of a King in their church and school
presentations. I have also participated in many of these and love to speak
on this important subject. It is so VITAL that we teach our children who
they really are! But many times I can't travel to your area, so I've made
my presentation items available to you free of charge. (Please keep in mind
that ALL of the following are copyrighted and that you may use them
only for free presentations. You may not reproduce,
sell, or distribute any of these items.)
PowerPoint presentation. Paintings by David Lindsley.
You will need PowerPoint to play this presentation. If you don't own a copy, you

"I'm a Daughter of a King." Words and music by
Annette Darling. Two versions
available, vocal and instrumental. I have included here a 30 second sample of the song.
Note: It works well for young women groups if you teach them Annette's song ahead
of time and have them sing it together the night of the presentation. You may also
decide to buy a copy for each girl. The CDs come in a nice jewel case and are not
only surprisingly affordable but a great value, especially since it contains several
more of Annette's songs. Please
e-mail her for a current price.
Art Samples
I thought you might like to have an idea of
the book's layout, so here it is, though these don't do justice to the real art work. David Lindsley pays close
attention to detail, proportion, color and brightness, which my scanning
simply can't capture.
