Emma Lucy Judson was originally born in Leicestershire where she enjoyed a wonderful childhood. Her family would often take her to visit stately homes and castles around Britain which resulted in a real appreciation of British history and the monarchy. Emma has particularly fond memories of visiting London and seeing the changing of the guards. She wanted to write and illustrate a children's book dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II, one which would also provide a lasting reminder of Her Royal Highness for future generations to come.
