From the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of King Charles. Little Charles always knew that,
one day, he would have a big job to do. As the son of Queen Elizabeth II, he was a prince, and in the future, he was to
inherit the throne of the United Kingdom.
As a young man, he developed a passion for one cause: the environment. Charles recognized that plastics and pollutants were causing harm to Earth, and as the Prince of Wales, he spent all his efforts
championing climate justice and sustainability.
As a member of the Royal Family, Charles used his power to build important organizations such as The Prince's Trust, a charity that works to
improve the lives of young people across the UK.
And in 2022, when he became King, he pledged that he would spend the rest of his life
serving his people with loyalty, respect, and love.

stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the royal's life, from little prince to grown-up king.
