Description

This book shares the story of the last Russian
emperor and his family. Their life was not necessarily what one would expect;
 there was much more than fancy clothes and  delicious food. They shared happy
memories but also great hardships. They nursed the sick, ate porridge, kayaked
along the Finnish coastline, and cared for chickens. Today we know them as the
Royal Martyrs — deeply pious Orthodox Christians who laid down their lives for
the Faith and role models of Christian virtue who showed kindness even to the
guards who taunted them.  

Accessible and thought provoking, this beautifully illustrated
book is appropriate for children aged 7-12, or for parents to read to their
children of younger age.
