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
My 16 year old daughter was having a difficult time at school. She is one of three LDS kids in her high school. She was feeling out of place and lost. Her grandmother had given our family this book months before and we had never read it. By total inspiration I was looking for something in our shelves to help me find a way to help my daughter know her worth. I saw the title and read it to my daughter not knowing the priceless gift I had just opened. We both cried and are so very thankful for this beautiful story. My "Katie" loves this book and together we have turned this story into a play for YWIE this month. Thank you for sharing your talent. —Maggie of West Allis, WI
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 can barely even explain how much comfort this book has given me. My dad gave it to me a few years ago when I was still in high school; I'm so grateful that he did. I've gone through some difficult times lately and it's easy to lose sight of the important things in life. When I read this book I can be reminded —Anna of Summit, NJ
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
can download a free viewer from Microsoft.

"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.
