Summary: An introduction to the charity work of Princess Diana
Review: Caroline M. Levchuck's "Learning About Charity from the Life of Princess Diana" does indeed focus more on her charitable works than her troubled personal life. Indeed, for me the most remarkable part of her life was that given the fact she was clearly the most photographed person on the face of the planet, instead of becoming a recluse she used her popularity to help others. Levchuck covers her charity work in some detail, talking about her patronage of various charities helping homeless young people as well as sick children and adults. Young readers will see pictures of Princess Diane doing charity work, with children suffering from leprosy and AIDS, and her campaign against land mines. Yes, the fact that she was a fairy tale princess seemingly come to life is what made her famous, but this book really focuses on what made her worth emulating. Other titles in this next series of Character Building Books help young readers learn about assertiveness from the life of Oprah Winfrey, courage from Christopher Reeve, creativity from Steven Spielberg, integrity from Eleanor Roosevelt, and strength of character from Muhammed Ali. This is one of the better books in this series.
