Description: Gwendolyn's Gift by Patty Sheehan - ISBN# 0-88289-845-0 Book summary from front cover: Just what is Queen Gwendolyn doing hammering, sawing, sewing, and soldering? After all, a queen shouldn't be doing such things should she? A story about branching out from tradition to pursue one's own interests and talents, Gwendolyn's Gifts is the story of a special queen and her desire to break from her uninteresting day-to-day routine to find happiness by working and doing things for herself. Queen Gwendolyn lives in a beautiful castle with her husband, the king. She wears exquisite gowns and jewels, eats scrumptious foods, and has no responsibilities to worry about. But she is not living "happily after ever." Queen Gwendolyn is bored. "Perhaps you need a change, my dear," offers the king. He has the castle seamstress make Queen Gwendolyn a new gown, the crown jeweler make her a new crown, and the castle carpenter make her a new throne, but none of these gifts makes Queen Gwendolyn happy. What Queen Gwendolyn really wants is to try her own hand at creating beautiful things and have fun at the same time! Queen Gwendolyn devises a plan to go into the town to learn the skills of the local artisans. When she returns to the castle, even the king is prompted to pursue his own interests. Gwendolyn's Gifts encourages young children to pursue their own special interests and talents. It helps to overcome stereotypes of all kinds and urges individual expression, regardless of race or sex. The story stresses the importance of finding personal fulfillment through the development of one's unique blend of interests and abilities. ☾ Shipped with USPS Media Mail. ☽☾☆☽ Sold As Is - Item pictured is what you will receive ☾☆☽
