How is this book now different from other chess books for young children?

Well, it starts as a fairy tale about a King, a Dragon and a young Girl with a dream.

A young girl is the main character because by doing so, I want to encourage girls and make it clear that this game is also for them.

The history of the game of chess is incorporated as you get acquainted with the characters.
The picture book is very inviting with plenty of funny and beautiful drawings. There is a lot to discover!
For the youngest preschoolers it is best to tell the story in your own words, but the older preschoolers fully enjoy the rhyming story.
Every chess rule can be found in an attractive drawing. An important didactic choice of the author.
Just like the choice for the story in rhyme form, preschoolers love repetition, this is a handy tool when memorizing the chess rules.

Industry Reviews

"Those wishing to spread their love of the game of chess to little ones, but who are looking for help on how to do so, will find Someday I'll Be a Queen: A Pawn's Journey Across the Chess Board the perfect resource."

-IM John Donaldson, 14-time captain of the U.S. Chess Olympiad team

Would you like to teach your child chess the easy way?

Then 'Someday I'll Be a Queen' is the perfect choice.

With the imaginative storytelling of author Christel Minne, the charming illustrations by Dirk Dewitte, and the inspired translation by the two Daniels, it's truly a winning combination!
